Cool shots N724!! Really glad to see another member taking the first steps & getting up there in real life. I'm not even going to ask you if you enjoyed it, I think the first picture says it all :D

I guess that N45434 is now you new favourite plane? & that the first flight you simmed back at home was in a small Cessna out of 3B3?

Congratulations on your first flight, lets hope you add many more to your log book.

Cheers,

TSC.

Kudos! Great to see anybody learning to fly, especially a kid (sorry to call you that, but you are).
 Stick with it and it will change your life for the better regardless of where flying takes you.
434 looks like a nice honest "Commuter"... I flew a few like that; big six-pack with the clock in the middle... and a rear-view mirror.
She'll teach you everything you need to know. ;)

Way to go ! Keep us posted on your progress !

Man I'd like to fly one of those rascals. I never trained in one (6'3" with a 37" inseam).. My knees and the yoke couldn't agree on who was boss..

Congratulations, it's always good to see new pilots take to the air.  Those interior pictures really show how small the 150/152s really are, makes a 172 feel huge, which it is definitely not.  Congratulations again, and good luck with your training if you choose to continue (which you should ;D). ;)

Good luck with your future as a pilot!!  Starting out at your age you can go in that direction.  Be a freighter pilot, you don't have any complaining passengers that way!! ;D

Congrats.  I started my training years ago in a 150L, but had to switch to a bigger plane when I got a bigger instructor. A 150 over 100lbs over max gross doesn't fly well at all.
