Some ground work

I just got my membership to the Women In Aviation organization www.womeninaviation.com . . . . baby steps! Reason for this, is to get into the aviation community, and for scholarship eligibility. I'm going to study for ground school either online or by DVD. First, read my handbook, then study. Will look on ebay or Amazon for a used copy of a ground school on DVD. Found some good info on the FAA site today. A lot of studying can be done myself before taking any flying lessons. Then I can get my student pilot's license, which does involves applying, and getting a medical certificate. The more studying I do upfront, the fewer actual flying lessons I'll need, which equals less expense. See how that works!
