Anybody here want to live life? Getting your Pilot's license may be the way to do it. Every year thousands of people of all ages join the ranks of aircraft owners and pilots who soar across the skys every day, speeding past the slow cars on the ground. Nothing can describe the scenery viewed from high up in the air, and anyone who has ever taken an airline flight knows exactly what we're talking about. Now what if you could be behind the controls going where you want to go? You can. Flying is not only one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to travel, but also one of the safest.
As the Cessna Corp. says, "Two thirds of this world is covered by water, another third is covered by land, the whole thing is covered by air; don't you think it's time you learned to fly?"
One of our most needed demands is traveling. Traveling can be done through many different modes of transportation. Walking is an obvious one, which will get us from our house to a friends place or the bars for some of us. If we need to get further we use our cars, trucks or in some cases public transportation like the buses. But these modes of transportation also have their draw backs. For example if you need to drive from here to one of the coasts, taking your car will take you at least 24 hours. On the road, we have speed limits and regulations.
Being on the road is also a dangerous place to be in the US. Each year there are about 40,000 deaths in automobile accidents vs. about 200 in air transport. To put this in perspective, the chance of dying in an automobile accident is about 1000 times more than winning a typical state lottery in a year. Also, according to the latter of the National Transportation board, each year in the US, 1 out of 6800 drivers dies in an automobile accident. The rate for flying is 1 in 1.6 million. Obviously, flying is a much safer way of traveling.
