defying gravity
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leapIt’s time to try
Defying gravity
I don’t know when it happened. Maybe last week, maybe the week before. I’m not really sure. I was outside and I looked up to the sky. And all of the sudden, I wanted to be up there.
Literally.
I’ve read a lot of pilots blogs recently. They say they’d always dreamed of flying. Ever since they were a child… When they were growing up… Collecting airplanes… You name it, I’ve read it. But I don’t know how it started for me. Something just snapped. The above lyrics from Wicked are eerily apropos.
I want to be a pilot.
The moment I began to think about it I began to realize that I really can do it. There is nothing physically holding me back from taking flying lessons. So why not learn how to soar through the sky?
I just set up http://flying.radiopeter.com. I don’t think I’ll begin until August, but this is the time for research.
Irving Berlin, be a dear and help me out…
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Go for it! I highly recommend you calling Midway Aviators and seeing if you can schedule an introductory flight. They usually offer you a discounted rate to check out the school and to get you addicted to flying. I look forward to following your experiences on flying.radiopeter.com.
