I have wanted to fly since I was a kid. Unfortunately when I went into the Marine Corps I was ineligible be go for pilot training because I did not have 20-20 vision. Since then I have had laser eye surgery and I don't think that would such an issue now. I have had a career in IT primarily for the past 30 years, and while the salary is good, I have not had job satisfaction for years. I don't want to regret later that I never got a chance to fly a plane. While I'm now too old (I'm 67 but in good shape and still alert) to fly commercial planes, I'm definitely considering getting my PPL and maybe instrument and multi-engine ratings so I can work as a corporate or commercial airline pilot. If I can't fly and get paid for it, I still think I want to fly just for the fun of it, travel to Bahamas and other places close to us, and maybe go further once I get more experience and training.
Any recommendations or suggestions for me? My wife and I recently moved from Northern Virginia to Pompano Beach, Fl. so we're 20 minutes from the nearest airport and training facilities which is very convenient.
