Welcome, man! I started flying in my senior year in High School too. I had plans to go to college, but just fell in love with flying so much that I went straight to ATP (flight school). I don't really regret it cause I got everything done right away and it was at least $15k cheaper when I did it (4 yrs ago). I still haven't gotten my degree and I think I missed out on the whole college experience too... but anyway, you have a great plan... State school, fly as much as you can out of an FBO, and have a blast throughout those four years.... I also considered ROTC when I took some college classes, but I never had much time for it... It seems like a great idea if ya wanna do military flying, but I couldn't see myself signing up for a 10yr contract to fly for them...

Anyway, good luck with it all... PM me if you have any questions....
