I need a loan for approximetly $60,000.

The money will be used to pay for college as well as pay for addiitonal pilot ratings. (Already a priavte pilot).

The goal is to eventually fly for hire, but I'll need college and additinal rating before I can do that.

Where can I get a loan for this amount?

Go to the college financial aid office. They will set you up.
 
One is fairly limited to the action suggested by wildman.

One will likely not get a loan for $60,000, especially at a reasonable interest rate, unless one has collateral. Student education loans are normally given on a year by year basis, in which case, interest will be added in successive years until one starts repaying the loan.

I would recommend minimizing the loan, and instead working part-time, and/or try to secure some grants or tuition waivers.
 
Astronuc's right, your more than likely going to need some collateral. have a look on http://www.moneysupermarket.com/loans/ to give you an idea of what you can expect.

hows the flying going anyway, that's something I've been looking into? Are you heading for your instrument training an what now?

i think i'd like to be a cooperate pilot, or just a private pilot for people that need flying - is that flying for hire? Or do you just mean you will hire a plane every time you want to fly. Guess that would probably work out cheaper wouldn't it. Upkeep, hanger fees an all that sure do add up!
 
Yeah, seems like going to the Air Force would be the "easy" way out.
 
Cheap but not easy. Also, the USAF isn't the only branch with planes.
