Learning to fly is not hard - you get to fly the plane on your first
lesson. It's not cheap either, but it is worth it!
More info on learning to fly right here in Wellington can be found here.
For a bit of entertainment, try out the 737 simulator in Courtaney
Place - it's flight deck is exactly the same as the real
thing.
For a very high specification Flight Simulator for you PC, try X
Plane
( it's used for commercial training and it runs on Mac, Windows, or
Linux).
A good Joystick to use is the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.
