I want to fly, but am completely clueless

Check for a privately owned airports that have a flight school, they don't hav overhead so it is alot cheaper.

I'm paying $80 hr plus $40 for an instructor. 120 an hour - most other places around here charge 120 for just the plane.

Damn! great rate.

Come t white plains sometimes - $285 plane and 95 instructor.

That's too bad. Discourages people from wanting to fly.

I wasn't aware there were so many RL pilots in AH! Thanks for the link!

When I got my license, a Piper Cub or Cessna 140 (for those wanting their taildragger endorsement) was $45 an hour wet. A Cessna 172 would cost you $65 an hour wet, and if you really wanted to go whole hog, you could get a Doctor Killer (Bonanza V-Tail) for $80.

Times have changed I guess....
