Hey,

I have just bought my first trial flight in a cessna 150 or 152. Im lookin VERY forward to it.
There are terms and conditions though, if i do well in the exams i can take it, if i dont well, my brother has it.
So i gotta do well!
Anyone been in a 150/152? whats it like!?
Hopefully by then i can get a new digital camera, and i will take some photos of my journey!

Thanks.

Small

cramped...  Don't let the small size fool you.  That plane has probably taught more people to fly than any other.  It's one of the greatest planes ever built.  :)

LOL, really I feel the question should be: "WHo hasn't been in a 150 or 152.."  ;D

Seriously sounds like a good time..

A 172 is cramped-I can only imagine a 150/152.  But the trial flight is great, assuming you get the right instructor-on my discovery flight, I started the engine, taxied, took off, flew around, made the approach, and then my CFI took over for the pattern.  Bout the only thing I didn't do was land!

Well im sixteen and the only planes ive been in are the commercial ones.

Very Small, but i've seen smaller Good fun for starters though...

Where are you doing it Jimbo?

So am I (I was actually 15 when I started)

Assuming you're the type, young guys normally make great pilots, if your attitude is right-and you should be fine there.

Well you have done well! I am nearly 18 and still haven't flown for real in my life yet. It doesn't cost much at all - but I have never needed to. It's most annoying to say the least!

Never mind - my turn will come some day!

Here in the US the EAA has a program called "Young Eagles" and it's totally free for a 15 minute flight. I know, not long, but you do get to take control and it's good for seeing if you enjoy flying a little GA plane. That was my first flight in a GA plane. I've since been in a Cessna 177RG, but I was in the back so I didn't get to take control.

I wish you luck Jimbo!

I took my disco flight last year and LOVED it.  I was in a 172, and my instructor also let me do everything except land.  It was hands down one of the most amazing experiences in my life!

(its on fs9, take a look V nice! birdman.uksd has done a nice scenery repaint of it)

Im looking forward to it, i know its my first flight and people have been in loads of flights, but i will be returning! Im looking forward, and i will take some shots of the stunning area around where i live.

Thanks.

Jimbo, being as its your first lesson, worry more about your flying than taking photos. Believe me when i say you wont realise how quickly tmie goes by when your up there busy learning. Also it is amazing how tired you'll feel at the end. The adrenalin rush from it will get you home though;) Have a great time.
