How to Build flight time as a private pilot?

I am a Private Pilot in Arizona trying to become a commercial pilot. Im trying to find other pilots in the area that freqently fly bythemselves, but is looking for a flying buddy. Im trying to build time, and experiance at the same time, but I am also a struggling college student tying to make ends meet. Anyone have suggestions that could help me out?

What aircraft did you learn to fly in?

I learned to fly in a 1946 Talyorcraft. At the time I hated that plane. It had separate brake pedals from the rudder pedals, but that didn’t matter because the brakes didn’t work. When ever I flew it solo I had to wrap a tie down chain to the tail wheel when I propped it (I know dangerous as hell). My flight instructor weighed about 75 lbs more than me, so it was a whole different flight when he was in or out of the plane. No radio, just a handheld, and of the instruments it had I think the airspeed and altimeter were the only ones that worked correctly.

I hated that plane at the time, now I wish I had one :-)

I am curious what some of the pilots in here learned in, and what they ended up doing as pilots later on.

Flying dreams?

In just about all my dreams Im flying, with the exception of being excluded from a more conventional method of flight.What could this mean? I also quite often find myself showing off this ability to others in the dream aswell. Im guessing that has some ties to wanting to feel important or admired…..but what do you think of all of it?
