I know what you mean. I am very tempted to ride down to Delirium's house and watch him fly for an hour or so. He can't be more than a couples hours from me and I know whatching him fly from over his shoulder would teach me more in an hour than months of training in the TA.
The TA on the other hand is a very good "second" choice. The trainers that are good with the basics can walk you through each maneuver telling you which way to more the stick and rudders to make the move. They will follow in a plane or god's eye mode and watch your planes control surfaces to be able to tell what your doing, both right and wrong. Give them a go, you only have "time" to loose. Either your using it to die the same old deaths, or your using it to get better, it's up to you.
