Before you Rapture, learn to fly!!: Saturday is 'Learn to Fly Day' across the USA

Real Headline from USA Today: Saturday is 'Learn to Fly Day' across the USA

http://travel.usatoday.com/destinations/dispatches/post/2011/05/saturday-is-learn-to-fly-days-across-the-usa/171087/1

If you've ever dreamed of piloting a plane (as do Harrison Ford, Brad and Angelina and John Travolta, for four), Saturday's the day to take that first leap skyward.

It's "International Learn to Fly Day," filled with free events and chances to hop in a plane. All you do is go to the official website, put in your zip code, home airport and number of miles you're willing to travel, and presto -- up come Fly Day events near you.

Before you Rapture, learn to fly!!

1. Well I got close.....had about 80 hours in a C172 but ran out of time and money.

Just need some nightwork and my checkride.

Maybe someday I will go back but I right now I can't afford it.

2. Sounds dangerous to me.

A student pilot, trying to dodge all those naykee people floating around. I fear no good can come of this scenario.

3. You'll just pass right through them..

Recall that they go through ceilings and roofs with no problem, a plane should be no different.

Naked people being hacked up by the props and sucked into the jet intakes! Then their will be the touchy feel pilot ... looks like a real CLUSTERFUCK to me!
