Will flying bacon burritos finally answer the question of whether pigs can fly? Tune in next week! Same Burrito time, same Burrito channel!

Enjoy :). And that's a very cool present!

Awesome :)

I used to fly (as an Airforce Cadet) and it's absolutely amazing.

Have fun!

You'll get hooked :) My ex got one of these types of presents as a teenager before I met her, then she got her PPL and now she's training for her commercial license out in Bahrain.

That's awesome, burrito man! Once you learn how to fly you can fly me around to all of the places I want to visit! I can't wait... lucky me!

Dude, that means that you can make a US flying tour, picking up all the DevNet junkies that you can fit into that thing and fly us all over with a big PHP flag hanging off the back of the plain. Sweet.

Yeah... what sounded initially to me as an crafty age joke is starting to make me feel uneasy.... no offense intended Burrito - maybe we should just delete the tail of this thread (just in case)?

Now you're talking tail?!?!? Come on Kieran, keep it clean :wink:.

If it didn't come off as such, this is a joke.

Wow sounds nice. I've heard that people who fly small aircraft have a tendency, once they are above ground, to leave all their problems that are associated with it, on the ground were it belongs. Nice fellin' I guess.

Flying lessons are expensive where I live, as is everything else. Last I checked I think the rounded cost of getting your license was about $6000 or more. Nice gift.

it's roughly the same cost here...but it's a pay as you go thing. I'll stretch it out over 6 months or so so it's not a huge hit all at once.

Thats good, you can do that here too, start as a hobbyist taking one lesson a week on the weekends. Takes like a year or more that way but hey!

Harrison Ford flies small aircraft as a hobby. But please don't be a 'tard' like a certain other celebrity that chose to fly at night in bad conditions with out proper experience. R.I.P.
