Learning to fly airplanes is something I have wanted to do for as long as I remember, yet somehow I managed to talk myself out of it every time the idea re-emerged. It always seemed like flying was too expensive and too impractical. Finally, this January, for the first time I somehow avoided talking myself out of it. One phone call was all it took to set up the first lesson, and then I was up in the air at the controls of a Cessna 152 within an hour of showing up. Fly By Knight is a vibrant business run by a couple of enterprising Australians. It is by far the best-outfitted and least expensive flight school in the area. They have plenty of planes and plenty of instructors, all of whom are a joy to fly with. I am looking forward to getting some instruction in aerobatic flying after I get my private pilot. The people here are great; highly recommended.
