I am trying to decide if I should get my instrument rating right now. I have such a good deal where I work that it is hard to pass up getting additional ratings. I get to fly one of the company planes and only have to pay for the fuel and it is a new 172 with autopilot, GPS and MFD. I have talked to quite a few USMC F-18 pilots though and they say that I should not continue my training because it will be hard to adjust when I switch to a faster plane. Have you guys heard the same thing? Plus, I have been focusing all of my free time on running and I know that is more important than flight skills... at least for now.
