I'm a general aviation enthusiast who longed to learn to fly. My passion started long before I can remember. Most of my free time was spent, dreaming about flying, reading about flying, watching videos about flying, building wooden planes, drawing aircraft, flying in various flight simulators, joining other pilot communities in order to learn even more, etc....
This year, I'm taking the leap. That's right! I'm going to learn to fly and earn my private pilot license. This podcast is to document my progress from now, 6 months from my "first" in cockpit lesson. Contact me at ltf@mail.com

Tray Tables and Time Zones

The nineteenth century was drawing its final breaths when Amelia Mary Earhart entered the world on a warm July evening in 1897. The gas lamps of Atchison, Kansas, cast long shadows across the wraparound porch of her grandfather's stately home as the town's most prominent judge welcomed his first granddaughter. The America of 1897 still moved largely at the speed of a horse's trot, though the industrial revolution was transforming the nation at an unprecedented pace. In Atchison, a Mississippi River trading town perched high on limestone bluffs, the modern age arrived slowly, seeping in like the morning fog that often blanketed the river valley. Judge Alfred Otis, Amelia's maternal grandfather, had built his fortune and reputation through shrewd investments and an unflagging belief in the power of proper appearances. His Victorian mansion on Quality Hill stood as a testament to both his wealth and his position in society. Here, in these early years, young Amelia would learn her first lessons about the complex interplay between social expectations and personal desires. The grand house, with its maze of rooms and strict protocols, became both a shelter and a challenge to the independent spirit already evident in the young girl. Amy Otis Earhart, Amelia's mother, represented a new kind of woman emerging at the century's turn. Though raised in the lap of luxury, attending the finest schools and enjoying all the privileges that came with being a judge's daughter, Amy harbored progressive ideas about raising daughters. Her marriage to Edwin Earhart, a promising young lawyer who worked for the railroad, initially seemed to ensure a continuation of her privileged lifestyle. Yet Edwin's career would prove far less stable than the solid limestone foundations of Judge Otis's home, forcing Amy to forge her own path in raising her daughters. The household where Amelia spent her earliest years was one of stark contrasts. Her grandmother, Amelia Harres Otis, for whom she was named, clung to Victorian ideals with iron determination. Young ladies, she insisted, should be seen and not heard, should sit straight, speak softly, and never run or climb trees. The elder Amelia's rules governed everything from posture to prose, from dining etiquette to appropriate topics of conversation. Yet Amy Earhart saw a different future for her daughters, one where women would not be bound by such rigid conventions. Into this world of contrasts came Grace Muriel Earhart, nicknamed "Pidge," in 1899. The sisters formed an immediate and lasting bond that would sustain them through the upheavals ahead. They transformed the third floor of their grandparents' mansion into their private domain, a place where imagination ruled and proper behavior took a back seat to adventure. Here they conducted scientific experiments with purloined household items, staged elaborate theatrical productions, and dreamed up fantastic adventures that often ended in scraped knees and torn dresses. On a crisp autumn morning in 1907, ten-year-old Amelia encountered her first aircraft at the Kansas State Fair. The primitive flying machine, little more than wood and fabric held together with wire, failed to capture her imagination. She dismissed it as "a thing of rusty wire and wood crates," never suspecting that aviation would eventually become her life's passion. This moment of childhood disdain would later serve as a reminder of how dramatically life's path could change. The first decade of the twentieth century brought tumultuous changes to both the nation and the Earhart family. Edwin's struggle with alcohol began to affect his career prospects, forcing the family into an increasingly nomadic existence. They moved frequently, following Edwin's diminishing job opportunities across the Midwest. While this perpetual motion might have broken a weaker spirit, it seemed to strengthen Amelia's adaptability and independence. Each new city became another opportunity to reinvent herself and test her boundaries. In Des Moines, Iowa, where the family spent several formative years, Amelia encountered her first real taste of technological innovation. The city hummed with electric trolleys and the occasional automobile, marking a sharp contrast to Atchison's more sedate pace. Here, her mechanical curiosity began to flourish. She spent hours watching trolley repair crews work, pestering them with questions about their tools and techniques. This early fascination with mechanics would later prove invaluable in her aviation career. It was during these Des Moines years that Amelia and Pidge first displayed their daring spirit, constructing what they called their "roller coaster." Using a wooden crate and the steep roof of their father's tool shed, they created a heart-stopping ride that ended in inevitable disaster. Though the adventure resulted in scraped knees and torn dresses, it revealed Amelia's early appetite for calculated risk – a characteristic that would define her later aviation career. The family's finances continued to deteriorate as Edwin's drinking worsened. Amy was forced to rely increasingly on her father's assistance, a situation that deeply affected young Amelia's view of financial independence. She watched her mother navigate the delicate balance between maintaining appearances and managing real hardship, learning lessons about resilience that would serve her well in the challenging years ahead. When Amelia turned fifteen, Amy made the decisive and difficult choice to separate from Edwin temporarily, moving her daughters to Chicago to live with friends. This period marked Amelia's first encounter with a truly urban, progressive environment. Chicago in 1912 crackled with the energy of the women's suffrage movement, with female activists regularly making headlines for their demands for equality. The city's energy and activism left an indelible mark on Amelia's developing worldview. Hyde Park High School opened new horizons for the teenage Amelia. The school's well-equipped chemistry laboratory particularly captivated her, offering hands-on experience with scientific principles. She excelled in her studies but remained somewhat apart from her classmates, cultivating a quiet independence that set her apart. Her academic achievements during this period suggested a future in science or medicine, though fate had other plans in store. The outbreak of World War I in 1914 initially seemed distant from Amelia's daily life, but by 1917, its impact would alter her course dramatically. While visiting her sister at a school in Canada during Christmas break, Amelia encountered wounded soldiers returning from Europe. The experience awakened in her a powerful desire to contribute to the war effort, leading to her decision to suspend her college studies and train as a nurse's aide. The Spadina Military Hospital in Toronto became Amelia's introduction to both the harsh realities of warfare and the expanding possibilities for women in society. As a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse, she worked punishing shifts caring for grievously wounded pilots and soldiers. The hospital's proximity to a military airfield provided her first sustained exposure to aviation. During her breaks, she would watch Royal Flying Corps pilots training overhead, their aircraft drawing complex patterns against the Canadian sky. Her time at Spadina proved transformative in unexpected ways. The pilots she treated shared stories of aerial combat that mixed technical detail with poetic descriptions of flight. They spoke of their aircraft as living things, describing the feel of controls responding to touch, the smell of engine oil and leather, the sensation of moving freely in three dimensions. These conversations awakened something in Amelia that her earlier encounter with the fairground aircraft had not – a recognition that flying represented something more than mere transportation. The Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918 brought new challenges and nearly ended Amelia's story before it truly began. While caring for infected patients, she contracted a severe case of the virus that left her hospitalized for nearly two months. During her recovery, she developed chronic sinusitis, a condition that would affect her throughout her flying career. The illness forced her to confront her own mortality while strengthening her resolve to live life on her own terms. The end of the war brought new opportunities for women, though many faced intense pressure to return to traditional roles. Amelia enrolled at Columbia University, planning to study medicine, but her family's financial situation forced her to abandon this dream after one year. The disappointment of leaving Columbia would later fuel her determination to achieve financial independence through aviation, though she didn't yet know that would be her path. In 1920, with the country still adjusting to peacetime, Amelia visited an airfield with her father in Long Beach, California. This visit would prove the pivotal moment of her life. Frank Hawks, a charismatic veteran pilot, offered her a ten-minute flight that would change everything. Unlike her childhood encounter with the static aircraft at the Kansas State Fair, this experience captured her soul. The sensation of breaking free from the earth awakened something profound in Amelia. "As soon as we left the ground," she later wrote, "I knew I had to fly." The next day, she began investigating flying lessons. The decision to pursue aviation in 1921 required both courage and creativity. Flight schools charged up to $1,000 for a complete course of instruction – equivalent to several months' wages for most workers. Few instructors would teach female students, believing women lacked the physical and mental stamina for flight. Amelia approached the challenge with characteristic determination, working multiple jobs simultaneously to finance her dream. She drove a truck, worked as a file clerk, and took photographs to sell. She saved every
