First Discovery Flight at 45
Been rewriting this post more than I'd care to admit. I've always to fly since discovery flight school in my first year of Uni but as a good, gullible and naive Asian kid who wanted to make his parents proud, I never followed thru.
Fast forward to 2016, I met a same age pilot in Koh Phi Phi who had started in his early 20's and now was exclusively doing SF/Singapore or SF/SE Asia routes making a buttload of money.
I thought then that being 35, I was far too late to start and never pursued it. Now I'm at a point in my life where I just want to "DO" things that make me happy you know?
I know I'll never get to be a wide body captain but beyond PPL, what has flying life been like for those that chose to get into it as a career later in your life? I can't afford my own bird & maintenance so even as a hobby, I could MAYBE only do 100hrs a year tops out of pocket.
