Really late birthday gift.
 

When I turned 16, which was two Decembers ago, my parents wanted to get me something really nice. There was one problem though. My dad had been out of work for 2 years, and they couldn't spend too much on something nice, so I've been waiting a long time for my 16th birthday gift. My parents finally gave it to me today. It is a flying lesson! I can't wait. I believe I'll be doing it in May. I've always wanted to know what it would be like to fly a plane. Have any of you ever flown a plane? I wonder what it will be like. I'll post and tell you what it was like after I've gone. :D

All I got for my 16th birthday was a golf club and a pat on the back.

Cool! Let us know how that turns out.

I've always wanted to fly a helicopter personally.

That sounds awesome, man! one of my mother's close friend's kids can fly fighterjets..that's so awesome....they've done dogfights and whatnot. It's something that i think almost anybody would like to do for fun . I mean, that's a REALLY cool hobby.

Re: Really late birthday gift.
 

that is awesome, i'll eventually learn how to fly (that will probably end up being one of my middle age/retirement hobbies...

No, dude, i can''t I meant that my friends can. I WANT to,I've heard all these really cool stories and stuff. But I've already got a nice hobby of mine: the martial arts.

My mom and I made my reservation for the flying lesson today. I'm going on July 5th at 1:00 PM. Woohoo, I can't wait. This should be a really neat experience.
