It's not ultra hard to get a pilots license. In my state ultralights are cheap and also there's some class of light light ones where 99% of the restrictions and requirements are waived. Only a little bit harder than getting a regular license. Probably a lot easier then a CDL.
Now like fixed wing aircraft, twin engines..or stuff that can go kinda fast and is very heavy. That's harder. Toats doable and cheaper than owning a house or under 100k for sure... you unfortunately have to just be in pretty bad shape to be unable to scrape together the cash over like 3 years. Feels bad man. Don't do drugs. Eat clean. Stay healthy.
For a few hundreds you could do some patterns and the instructor if they are comfortable will just sit back and chill while you practice touch and go's.
I think it was about $900 for me to make my first landing attempt with an instructor in a glider. Wasn't a terrible one either. Just wasn't my cup of tea really... x times right now I cant even drive I'm so hecked.
Gliders r fucking (I mean heckin!) great tho!
