 Some days I wake up still not believing that I learned how to fly a plane. 🛩️

Overcoming my greatest fear was the most powerful thing I've ever done in my life.

Maybe one day I'll go back and get my license, but for now I'm very satisfied with what I was able to accomplish.

 Ostriches are flightless birds. I am no ostrich.

Raven gang! 🐦‍⬛ 
 Oh boy 😁 https://image.nostr.build/d1f55b14670d2e472ecdb9df66db5d38a50824dce872a88ec1725dd8f2bbacc4.jpg  
 I always saw crows and ravens around the airport I flew out of. They'd greet me in the mornings with their cawing. 

My favorites were the ones who hung out right by the runway with no fear. Just chilling in the grass as I taxied for takeoff. 😂 
 Awesome! Congrats 👏 
 That’s dope, congratulations! 
 Congratulations on becoming a ungovernable bird person 
 I strongly encourage it if you have a fear of flying. Taking control of a plane and learning how things work is empowering. 

It is expensive and time consuming, so good to keep that in mind.  
 For a cheaper alternative try hang gliding 👍
