Flying Quote

I found this great flying quote and just wanted to pass it on:

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

I love to fly although I have only limited opportunities to do so. We live near an air force base and I love to hear the sound of the jets when they take off. It sounds as if they are truly rippling through the sky and although I have never ridden in one I imagine that it would truly be the ride of a lifetime

I like the quote a lot, but I am so very confused. If Leonardo De Vinci lived in the 1400's what was he flying in or how was he flying? Please help me figure this out.

He designed a glider and from what I read know one really knows if it ever flew.

My IFR story

An ifr story I finally did it this December I passed my instrument rating so I’m now a commercial land and sea instrument rated pilot single engine. It definitely took a long time to do I started instrument flying about 10 years ago. It wasn’t that I never wanted to get my instrument rating it’s that I ran out of money. I got my private pilots certificate in the fall of 2008 in the spring of the year I got married. I was going to Arizona State with ambitions to become a commercial pilot. By the time I got my private license the financial recession that happened that year in the next few years after was starting to manifest itself.

By the end of the spring of 2009 I had changed my major to aviation management degree and decided to pursue aviation using part 61 I saw that I needed to pinch every penny that I could I still had ambitions to become an airline p...
