Yes I am 16 years and I’m a junior at high school and I’m looking forward to becoming a pilot. I want to carry people or freight. What classes can I take during high school to help me achieve my goal? Do I need to go to a college or university? if so what career [...]

Where can i purchase an authentic WWII military airplane? And who could teach me to pilot it?

I’m interested in colleges/universities that will enable me to do pilot training and get a non-aviation related Bachelor’s degree as the same time.
Thank you very much in advance.

I understand what the different training qualifications are, but what types of jobs do each license enable one to do? PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS IN REGARD TO HELICOPTER PILOTING–not airplanes. THANKS! )

I’m particularly interested in how the growth of air travel has changed American culture. My favorite book on the subject was Joe Sutter’s book on the development of the 747.
So, if anyone knows of similar books, I’d love to hear about them.
Thanks

i want to become a pilot that works in the airports like american airlines,etc. not a private airplane pilot, but whats a commerical pilot, do they make commercials? what are the airport plane pilots called?

I’m looking for a headset that provides the best combination of performance and comfortability. I also want it to last a long time. Is there a particular brand I should go with or one I should stay away from?

I saw a cockpit video of a B777. The plane landed as if the pilot doesnt need to be there. so i wonder can airplanes turn the autoland mode off and allow the pilots to land the plane.

Any suggestions for improvements that can change flying? Change in terms of quality, safety, speed, reliability, something innovative, something practical or even revolutionary.
Though many interesting solutions were mentioned, none can be qualified as a new innovation. So I’m letting the best answer to be selected by voters. Thanks.

Jut using the on board computer theoretically could a airline fly without the pilot taking control of the airplane?
