I am 39, and one of my goals before I turn 40 is to get my pilots licence. I was also curious how tough and costly it would be to get to a level where I could do some instructing or flying of some sort to earn a supplemental income in addition to my 9-5 job. If I had my dream job, it would be to work for or own a charter company, but I am not that familiar with the workings of this type of business. I am currently in a sales position for a stainless steel company, so possibly aircraft sales may be an option. Basically I was looking to earn some extra money for misc. expenses, and flying time/lessons.

thanks.
