In 2014 I had just turned 60 and saw an opportunity on Grab a Seat to go and learn to fly, from a flying school in Ardmore. This 1st lesson was affordable, so I took the chance and learned about how pilots fly. I flew a Cesna with a young pilot of 22 yrs, that had more flying hours than most commercial pilots. He had $100,000.00 student loan debt to repay.
I liked all the people in the flying school and it was a great experience. Highly recommend it. However, my size of the wallet will not allow me to learn to become a pilot but I was grateful for this opportunity.
This is part one, hopefully more to come
Nice pictures but keep both hands on the wheel while you are flying, young lady
Good advice thanks so much
No problem. Ten and two, missy thang!
This is amazing! Breathtaking views, too!
Thanks so much Ellie, glad you like the views
The pictures are wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing Auckland from the air!

You are always welcome, Pamela
I didn’t know you were a pilot. : ) My dad was, i grew up in a Piper Apache I think I still remember the number 3494 Papa. :0 Love this set of photos!
I need more than just one lesson to be a pilot, you need to be very wealthy to train to be one in New Zealand. This is way out of the range of my wallet. Even if I did gain a pilots licence, you can’t get a job as a pilot in New Zealand, you have to go overseas to do that.
The guy who taught me for the day was 22yrs old, and having to pay back a $100,000.00 student loan, which has to be paid back
Oh I thought it was lesson 1. Well still, I know you loved it. Its easy to fly while up in the air huh? I got to try that several times, my feet wouldnt yet touch the floor or I wouldve talked him into letting me try a landing. lol
These are very beautiful memories in pictures
Thanks so much Elenka, they are wonderful memories
