Rusty Pilot
There is no doubt that the most exciting moment in flight is when you can fly an airplane by yourself to any destination you want. That is the kind of excitement any pilot's license holder would enjoy. Do you have a pilot's license, but are hesitant to fly because you haven't flown for a long time, or you are not confident with your proficiency in English?
