I love the movie Dirty Harry. I collect stamps.  I like airplanes.  I got curious and looked up flying lessons after we talked.
I am a verterinarian at the wildlife centre. I am afraid of heights. I challenge myself to get over my fears. I love to watch movies with animals. I used to watch a lot of movies with dangerous animals but I have been expanding my genres. I had an Uncle Joe who would squint his eyes all the time.
I booked my first flying lesson!  That's awesome! That is a great skill to have and lots of fun. For sure.  It's a long road to getting fully licensed, let alone having my own plane.  But realizing the dream has to start somewhere! The great thing is that you will enjoy every minute of it. Do you want to be a commercial pilot, or do you just want to keep it as a hobby? I think I'd rather just fly on my own, to be honest.  Besides, I think I'd enjoy flying smaller planes more than real airliners.  Maybe I could fly small private planes for rich clients.  That's an idea! I guess you get to set your own hours that way. In my case, I find that the smaller planes trigger my fear of heights more than the larger ones. Yes, the small planes are definitely a different experience.  You feel everything and it can easily feel like the plane is getting tossed around in the air.  Very different from a big plane, although there are usually fewer crying babies. I think I would have to spend many hours in the flight simulator before I felt comfortable in the plane. I can't even do rollercoasters without panicking, lol. Is it always your fear of heights that's the issue?  Or does your stomach bother you?  Or the general sense of danger?   I think it is more so my stomach, that's why I don't get afraid on a passenger jet. As long as I don't feel too much of the motion I am okay. That does seem to bother a lot of people, but I love it.  I love big drops and flipping upside down.  I'd love to be in a stunt plane and do barrel rolls and loop-the-loops. Well it sounds like you've chosen the right hobby. Hopefully, you can afford the lessons.
