As the old saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together.” While it is an old saying, it has a great deal of merit that should resonate throughout all generations. Whether you are bonding over banking, sweating together on a run, or spending time setting up flying lessons, having common interests can spark new relationships or rekindle existing connections.

Flying lessons are an existing and intriguing leisure pursuit that can connect new couples. The exhilaration of soaring above the clouds is an exclusive experience between a select few who want a different perspective on life.

Come On, How Can Flying Lessons Connect Two People?

That is a common question that most might ask, alongside “Why are flying lessons a better activity than something where my two feet are on the ground?” That is a reasonable question, too, and we’ll get to that.

Breaking Down Barriers

The most obvious first answer to the question is you can break down barriers with your partner or friend. When two people have separate hobbies, an invisible wall inevitably develops. When your friend or partner tells you about their family party, it may sound fantastic, but you will not get to see how good it is unless you experience it yourself. It’s just a story, after all. For couples, having too many different hobbies can invoke jealousy and envy due to the invisible wall created by the disconnect.

When you share the passion to soar above the birds together, you become closer on a mental and emotional level due to the conversations shared, amazing experiences felt, and the unmatched picturesque views. And let’s be honest, most planes used for flying lessons have a small cockpit so you will be physically closer.

Finding a Compromise

Finding a compromise is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. This applies to lovers, friends, work pals, and even just acquaintances. You must agree on an activity, a restaurant, a movie, a bar, whatever the plan is, so everyone is happy. Flying lessons are an excellent compromise. If neither of you has ever tried flying lessons, then it is a brand-new experience that you can enjoy together to build a relationship.

Find Each Other’s Passion

One of the most charming and attractive qualities another can have is their passion—for anything. Passion is a motivator and driver that energizes us to pursue hobbies and activities. When you find a passion that you can share, like learning to fly, you will gain a deeper insight into who each of you is as a person. This could further help you connect on an emotional level.

Spontaneous Outings Equal the Best Memories

Let’s face it, mixing it up and being spontaneous will result in some of the best memories you could ever create. Take that a step further and imagine your first lesson on a cloudless day with your partner. You soar to the recommended altitude above the city noise, above the clouds and into the great blue sky. By taking classes simultaneously, you are both viewing the earth from a new perspective and finding a hobby that the two of you can share in the future.

Why Flying Lessons Soar Over Ground Hobbies

Ground hobbies are important and certainly have their place in building relationships. However, they are no match for taking pilot lessons which generates a virtually instant connection.

Break down barriers

Maybe neither of you like heights. This is a common fear within the general population. Therefore, you decide to take flying lessons to overcome your fear. Together. Since you are both experiencing this incredible opportunity together, you can comfort each other and realize there is nothing to be afraid of. Flying lessons break down these types of barriers which results in an emotional connection of support.

Also, since you will be learning together in a well-presented classroom environment, learning about pitch and thrust, you will naturally have a conversation about what you’ve learned later. When it comes to recalling your time in the air and how amazing the view is, well, that is some special conversation. This type of experience can get the creative and emotional juices flowing that allows you to connect deeply with your partner. On the other hand, ground-based activities are usually with a group and you do not get the same opportunity for an intimate connection.

Go Places

In addition to being able to connect on a new level, you get to travel to different places in the area. In many cases, you are traveling to airfields and towns you didn’t even know existed. This heightens the experience. You may have lunch together in an unfamiliar town at an unfamiliar restaurant and try something new. While you can still go places with ground hobbies, you will be sitting on a bus or in a car for a long period instead of seeing the world from the sky.

See the World Peacefully 

The hustle and bustle on our roads can be brutal. If you don’t live in a city, you certainly still have your daily stresses. Why not soar above it all and find a new way to view life? Best of all, you can connect with another while doing it. With flying lessons, you can see the world from a calm and peaceful vantage point which lets the stress melt away! The hassle of going from Point A to Point B on the ground can ruin the entire experience. Why not fly from Point A to Point B above the hassle?

Take Friends and Family

To add to the benefit of connecting with another individual, once you are experienced and licensed, you can take your family and friends for a ride in the sky! This will allow them to connect on a similar level as yourself. Flying lessons helped to connect yourself and your partner so now it can strengthen your relationship with your family and friends. It will give them a new experience while you pilot the craft. While friends and family will appreciate even a ground experience, there is nothing better than seeing the world in a 360-degree birds’ eye view!

Experiences like learning to fly are something that you and your partner, friends, and family will recall forever. These first-hand activities can never be replicated or replaced but will always remain in your heart. They can also make you a more well-rounded individual with amazing stories to tell based on your incredible experiences above the clouds.
