Do you have any flying plans this week? āœˆļø
What flying plans do you have this week? If so, where? What type of plane? Is it for fun, flight training, work, or vacation? For me, I'm hoping to fly one day to either Venice Beach, Florida or maybe Jekyll Island, Georgia! This will be for building hours and also for fun! šŸ˜„ Leave a comment and let me know! ā¬‡ļø

@Brian Mahaffey Great idea! We could learn a thing or two from someone with your experience. Thanks for the suggestion!
Welcome to Plane Speech!
Welcome to Plane Speech āœˆļø I started flight training in my 40s, with a professional career outside of aviation, real responsibilities, and many misconceptions of what I thought a pilot was supposed to be. After completing flight training, I realized there’s a huge gap between people who are in aviation and people who are curious about it. Plane Speech is about: - Honest discussions from going through flight training later in life (or at any age) - What aviation actually looks like - Clear explanations without aviation jargon - Practical advice for beginners - The mental, financial, and lifestyle realities of flight training - Common myths about who can (and can’t) become a pilot If aviation—or any big goal—has ever felt out of reach, you’re in the right place!

@Adrian Zierenberg Thank you for joining us Adrian! We welcome anyone who is involved or even just interested in aviation, so you are exactly part of our target audience! We welcome your input in this new community. I guess we swapped places - I raised my family first then started flying and you did the opposite! Either way, we both know what life is like in and out of the aviation world. Welcome!
