If you're on the fence, my goal is to talk you off. If you're thinking about pursuing aviation as a hobby or as a profession, it is easy to experience paralysis by analysis. I wanted to take five common objections people have towards aviation and do my best to bust them. These are arguments and obstacles that keep people from pursuing and experiencing their dreams and I would love to see more people get to have their dreams. If you're in that situation, I hope this video will help.
