New guy in NE Oklahoma.

Newly minted student pilot going for my Sport Pilot certificate.
I had originally planned to go for PP but as I will be turning 60 later this year getting a medical was looking like a long, expensive and not entirely certain path. After discussing my issues via email with a well know AME I considered my options and just what I wanted to do with a aviation and Sport pilot really suits my wants pretty well.
Found a small outfit that offers Sport Pilot training (as well as Private, tail wheel and aerobatics) within a reasonable drive from home and as of Friday I earned my first official log book entries.
I'll be training in a J3 Cub so will be able to get a tailwheel endorsement along with my Sport certificate.
Flying the Cub was an pretty cool, I had a couple of flights in other newer planes that were great but the Cub struck a chord with me.
Once I've progressed a ways into the training and know for certain I will be able to do this I will be looking to buy a plane. right now I lean towards a Champ or Taylorcraft, maybe even a Cub.
Thanks for having me.
