I don't believe in bucket lists (what happens when you complete it ), but I've always wanted to do this.
A number of years ago I inquired as to the cost of getting a license, including instruction, plane rental, gas, etc. and the cost was about $5000. Don't know what it is today but with the price of fuel down, I can't imagine it being much different if not cheaper.
It all looks so deliciously complicated I just want to solve all the mysteries associated with it. Sort of like brewing.
When I got my license in 2006, in CA, it cost me about $8k. I was in college and had to use student loans to do it. But now the Air Force pays me to fly F-16's, so it was worth the "up front cost."
