…so, you wanna go flying… and I promised you in the last issue of this awesome rag that I would tell you how you can fly for less $$ than you think it would cost you… and just be-cause you are reading my col-umn I am going to tell you how you can fly for almost free… the operative word here is “almost”. O.K. listen up…
First you need to assess your rendezvous with flying in the fol-lowing category. 1) I have a great passion for flying and I will do anything to “slip the surly bonds” ( oh yeah, have I got a deal for you) ! 2) I have been thinking about learning to fly ( Stop think-ing, start calling that flight school … if I say, “just do it” I might get sued by Nike. So, “just call”). 3) I love to fly but I am afraid of heights (we have a cure for that!) 4) I walk the dykes and I look up above and I wander what that buzzing noise above me is (Have I got a flight school for you to check it out!!) 5) My kids are on the computer every minute of every hour of every day playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and I think they wanna be pilots!! (GREAT NEWS… a pilot in the making!!)
OK.OK. Now you’ve assessed yourself. So, here is how it works….. If you have a great passion for flying, then show your passion by hanging out at the hangars … you live close to one… go to any one of those hangars out at the Pitt Meadows Airport (CYPK) …preferably mine, of course, and you will be sur-prised at how all of us here share our passion with you. That is why we are here. We don’t just like flying. We have a genuine passion for flying. The inherent meaning of the word passion is that it must be shared. The MW online dictionary describes pas-sion as something like this: “intense driving or overwhelming feeling or conviction for an activity or an object…..” That would be my category. I love flying and I love planes. As an ardent passionate lover of both, I would love to visit and talk and share with people with the same inclination. So, if someonesays to me…. I love flying … but I cannot afford to pay for it, guess what I would do? You got it! I would say: “Hey, buddy, next time the weather permits ( I fly VFR, and that would be Visual Flight Rule in Aviation lingo) come on down to the han-gar and I will take you flying on my time and cost. Did I not say have I got a deal for you? It is “almost free” … all you needis guts to knock on the door. And you might add, why is she so altruistic…? Oops!! I’m out of space again…looks like you will have to read the next issue of this awesome rag again next week to find out why I’m so altruistic!!
AND stay tuned to find out how you can GO FLYING ( for al-most free) if you are in the other 4 categories…..
For now dream flying till you knock on my door to share your passion with us @ Cobalt Aviation located at CYPK ( airport identifier for Pitt Meadows). Until then, here is Erissa saying Adios; and Blue skies and safe flight to all pilots and soon to be pilots out there…..
