I have long had a pilot license on my bucket list, ever since a friend took me for a ride in a '39 Piper Cub. Your episode reminded me that this type of flying, while expensive, is within reach. Thank you!

Thanks for the interesting show Elspeth. I have been flying model aircraft (predominantly gliders) since my teenage years, and also fly full size gliders for several years in my 40's. Gliding is a great way to enjoy flying, and in my humble opinion everyone wanting to fly should start with gliders! Anyway, I have too much to say on the matter, so I think I will have to add the topic to my "HPR Shows to create" list.
Looking forward to your next show!

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your flight experiences.
It was interesting that both you and my wife grew up in Oregon, and that my Dad is also a Vietnam veteran.
He liked gas power model planes when I was growing up, the type which were fly-by-wire, or control line flying, which I just looked up.

It was not quite like the link I just put, but was a solid blue one, which I think may have been a kit build.
Anyways, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Looking forward to more shows.
