Taking to the Air - Again

OK, I finally did it. When I turned 40 last year I realized that it had been just over 18 years since I had been in an airplane. (Well, ok, since I had been in an airplane by myself. As of this moment I have 460,920 lifetime flight miles with Continental Airlines, so I've definitely been in an airplane since.) So I started studying. A lot has changed in the aviation industry in 18 years, but I also wanted to know everything I could possibly know before I stepped back into a little Cessna again, so I've been studying A LOT. (But still, how could that take a year?? See entries with "Brenna" below, and then go to VMware.com and you'll get the idea.) Well, today is my birthday again and so I walked into the flight school that I spent way too much time researching and choosing from many and signed up. My "first" flight is on Friday. How much dust has to be blown off of over 39 hours of flight time and 14 of pilot-in-command time from almost 20 years ago? Stay tuned...
