colorblindness does not automaticly dis qualify you there are several different tests. and depending the severity of the colorblindness.
dont konw about the hoemland
security check thats new since I did any flying. cost for prive 8,000 give or take.
commercial, instrument, instructor 50,000 give or take. these are just real ballpark numbers to give you a basic idea. and these numbers are for fixed wing, rotorcraft will be more expensive.
fix that sunfish and get out sailing. find a summer job somewhere near the
water where you can sail as much as you want.
enjoy sail fly .. your young follow dreams you will wish you had in 20 years if you dont now.
