Both my sisters got their pilots license before they even had their drivers license. They both married Pilots. Most of my uncles fly. Grandfather flew planes in WWII. I was sure I was going to be a pilot but for some reason I lost interest.

I get to fly quite a bit. Doing it as part of your job is the way to go.

It was nearly flawless. I actually impressed my examiner, whom BTW, is also a retired Air Force Col. It's a great feeling to finally have my license. I'm starting on my high-performance & complex endorsements after Christmas.
