So I'm a Private Pilot. It's my favorite hobby (although pickup is quickly catching up), I really enjoy it, and almost everyone thinks it's cool.

Question I'd like input on is, when to bring this up with a girl or group? Should it be early on, to raise value? Or would I be better off keeping that in my back pocket and letting it come out naturally later on, making it something that I don't go around telling everyone. My gut is leaning towards the latter bit I'd like seddit's opinions.

PS. I'm finding a lot of parallels between learning pickup and primary flight training. If I ever become good at this stuff, I'll do a writeup.
