Fun Things To Do With A Pilot License
There are a lot of fun things you can do with a private pilot
license. Flying is so much fun and here are a few ideas of
things you can do once you become a pilot. You can take your
date up just before dark and watch the beautiful sunset from the
best place possible. You don't miss anything and nothing is
blocking your view. It is so romantic to see the sun's colors
in the sky with your date. If you are a morning person, the
sunrise is just as spectacular.
Another idea is to go flying during the fall and see the
changing leaves and the beautiful colors the trees create on the
ground. This is also really exciting if you are flying over
mountains as this adds yet another exciting dimension to your
trip. Make sure you take your camera on a flight like this.
One trip you can make if you want to fly and don't really have a
destination in mind, is to find a river and follow it to the
mouth. This is fun because you are using the river for
navigation and it probably winds back and forth, so you get to
make some good turns along the way.
If you live near where you are flying, it is fun to see your
house from the air. Once you locate it, you can see just how
big or small it really is. You can also see what kind of
property backs up to yours. You may find that you
live near
something that you had no idea you lived next to.
You may know of a great restaurant in the next state over. A
plane trip is a great way to explore good restaurants and
attractions that would otherwise take hours to drive to. If you
play golf, you could fly to an airport with a golf course nearby
and play a round.
Flying is a great way to visit friends and family. There are
around 12,000 small airports in the United States. It is very
likely that your long distance friends live near an irport.
Once you arrive, impress them with a flight over their own house
or neighborhood.
There are many more ideas that you could come up with
yourself. You just have to be creative. But flying in and of
itself is very rewarding and exciting. If you don't have a pilot license, now is a
great time to learn to
fly. Happy flying and blue skies!
