My instructor told me he has another student with the same car as me with tinted tail lights. The named sounded familiar so I was wondering if anyone here is the guy he is talking about.

bluedyno,
Just a friendly reminder:your 545 is not an airplan

I will get pilot license some day. How much for the total course to get the license, if you don't mind?

haha, i really wish my 545i could fly.

The cost for getting a private private license ranges from $4000-$7000 depending on how quickly you learn. Its based on hourly rates. My instructor is $35 an hour and the airplane is about $70 an hour. You need to have a minumum of 40 flight hours to be eligible to take the test. The average pilot takes the test at around around 50-60 hours.

Where are you taking your lessons? I see a black 545 parked on E. Wardlow all the time in Long Beach... would that be you?

Read more about the BMW airplane here,

Hate Nazis but the German tech has always been good - even too good for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

GBTS!

Gliding is very peaceful. It is nice to get rid of all the noise associated with strapping on the heavy iron at work. It is a really nice way to enjoy flying.
