I’d love to do this flying private one day in a Cessna 172 or similar. That’d be the greatest flex ever lol

    No need to be so condescending. I know my close friends and family would care. And I wouldn’t do it just for the sake of flexing but also to work towards my hours for a PPL. Very few people get that opportunity cause of how expensive flying is.

    Oh I know. Believe me, I know. I was 18 when I earned my private pilot's license, skipped a day of college my Freshman year to take a checkride. That weekend, the most intense argument I've ever seen in my family broke out (this should be an indication of how chill my family is): Which grandmother was going to get the first airplane ride. Before things actually heated up, I made a command decision as PIC: The Cessna 172 I flew is equipped with four seats, so BOTH grandmothers are going on the first airplane ride.

    3 weeks later, I was out of people who wanted to go on airplane rides. People get tired of hearing you talk about it fairly quick. It's just how it goes.
