I know next to nothing about the parts of planes, besides like "engine, wings, etc...". How would you recommend me to begin? I live in Northern Virginia currently. How long does it take to get a private liscense? Since I was thinking about doing that this upcomming summer. Any tips or anything to look out for or do while still in school? I don't want to go into the Air Force because the army is not something I wish to go into.
