There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I agree with Willy on this one. Learn to Fly! Absolutely the best time of my life.
There is something magic about rising early in the morning, doing your preflight in the dawn light in anticipation of what is to come. Sometimes you get to talk with another pilot doing the same thing. You ready your aircraft for dawn flight. There is nothing like the surge of your steed as it climbs and heads up into a black-blue canopy. Sometimes you see stars you never saw before, and it looks like thousands upon thousands of lamps lit just for you as a passage to the deep blue. Just as you reach altitude you see the beginnings of day and the colors are a kaleidoscope of wonder. The sun's fingers reach for the climb into the dark blue. Off to my left I could see the fog bank rolling back from the San Francisco Bay as the first rays of light touch the tallest buildings. I see the long shadow of Mount Diablo run toward the bay and quickly recede to it's hiding place as the sun mounts to it's place of authority. The throaty little engine ceases it roar as I throttle back and listen to wind in the wings and watch the earth below come alive. The wheat colored hills of Livermore and Pleasanton merge with the multi-colored buildings of the city as it comes to an abrupt halt in the muddy bay. I will never forget the MAGIC of early morning flight.
