Default Spent my first $ on training

Today I took the proverbial plunge into the moneypit we call flight training. It wasn't much, just an introductory flight, but I had a blast. The FBO is legit, the instructor was alright, the equipment is nice and i didn't puke...im satisfied. Next step is to open an account and start working toward PPL.

Thanks for all the advice so far.

Good deal my dear friend! Just don't keep more money on the account than you can stand to loose.

Yea...so I hear. The place seems like a big operation, pretty legit, but obviously you can never be too careful. Thanks for the advice.

Hey man I'm in the same boat as you, took the intro flight last week and have spent a good portion of this week getting the finances in order to start training. Im hoping to be flying this weekend or early next week. Good luck!

You wouldn't happen to be related to a Jerry Held down in Virginia would you? He's a fish spotter.
