I just completed Private Pilot ground school at the local community college. I even passed with a high enough grade so I can take the FAA test. The classes were excellent with enough anecdotes to keep even the less interesting subjects interesting. Everyone in the class both taking and giving it were engaged and enthusiastic. All around a great experience.

However it was a complete failure. I was hoping that taking a class, studying, calculating, learning regulations, etc would put me off the whole idea of flying as a hobby and save me a bunch of money. But alas no such luck, I'm still hooked.

Anybody have a plane they don't need?
