Thanks again for the excellent advice. You guys have been so helpful and most of all honest, which I really appreciate. For now, I've given him all the information he can. He most definitely does not have a rosey outlook on the whole thing! He still really wants to fly but I've made it very clear th...

Thanks, I appreciate that
