Learning to fly...all over again

[AA717driver]

My wife said she wants to take lessons. Being a cheap-a$$ pilot, I was wondering if there are any grants or student loan-type deals out there to help her out.

I might have her try the WIA but I don't know if it would apply. Thanks in advance.TC

P.S.--don't bother flaming me, I've been out of the flight training scene so long that I'm a newbie again!

My wife said she wants to take lessons.

IF she takes lessons and becomes a pilot, will she then begin frequenting this forum, see your Avatar, and make you remove it?

I would discourage flying lessons if I were you.

Spouses teaching spouses

You probably know this already, but it bears repeating. One spouse teaching another spouse a skill is a recipe for disaster, especially if the skill in question involves a vehicle that moves.

Good luck to your wife with her training.

Tony--Yeah, you might be right... "Hey Honey! Ever thought about law school...?"

Bobby--I have absolutely NO intentiion of giving my wife one second of flight instruction. I wasn't born yesterday! TC

Better get on the scholarship applications if you are going that route. The deadlines are in the next two weeks.
