I am wanting to learn to be a aircraft pilot.
So you want to control the aircraft with its flight controls.
Yup I want to be in the cockpit
Aviation has been around for a long time. Another name for a pilot is an aviator, and that it was coined by G. de la Landelle in 1863!
That is really cool, do you know how many people are pilots in the US?
Unfortunately, I do not know how many there are.
Well It is cool that the public can learn to fly
To recognize a pilot's qualifications, badges are often used.  This is done both by airlines and the military!
