I would love to learn to fly, but as my cousin has long since pointed out, it is not cheap. The Ottawa Flying Club has a flying lesson type service for $50 Canadian.

  • A hands-on aircraft orientation, education and preflight demonstration
  • A guided lesson on how to taxi and take-off
  • Flying the aircraft! Under the guidance of your instructor, you will hold the controls and take your first flying lesson
  • And…receive a photo of you next to the airplane!

Now if only I was not afraid of heights though I feel much safer in a plane than I do on the CN Tower or looking out the window of a tall building. I think flying a plane would be a real kick, and I think I might just do it this summer, atleast after I talk to a few people about it.
