     You can if you want one bad enough.
     
     They store the keys in the hangar usually and don't mind if you borrow them as long as you bring them back with a full tank of avgas.

     @GabeLakmann @AWIVR @William_The_Dragonborn @comradepond @randbot I'll bring it back, but the landing gear may be slightly broken (as well as the rest of the plane)

     Make sure to leave a note with an "I.O.U." for the repairs!
     
     They'll know you're good for it.

     I always wondered if they ever issued that number. Wonder what it'd take to get it back?

     Here is the question pool:
     
     https://www.arrl.org/question-pools
     
     (You want the Technician pool...That's the intro level license)
     
     Read through the questions once or twice, and try to remember the answers.
     
     Next, go to https://eham.net/exams and pick the Technician practice exam. Take it over and over until you consistently get around 80-85% or more.
     
     Then find a test in your area: https://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-exam-session (in-person is probably better)
     
     Once you pass the test, you'll get a callsign. You'll learn more about that as you study.
     
     Get yourself a starter radio. If you're on a budget, get the Baofeng UV-5R off Amazon. Don't worry about what specific submodel, just get the one with the most reviews. If you want something nicer, get a Yaesu FT-70DR or do some research for a radio that has features you want if you really care.

     @victor @d0c40r0 @GabeLakmann @AWIVR @William_The_Dragonborn @comradepond @randbot I sincerely wish I understood how Ham radios worked. That sounds like something I need to look into but just don't have a clue where to start.
