First Flying Lesson TODAY

Postby stevewilson » Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:45 pm

WOW Just got home after having my very first flying lesson today.  ;D. I'm hooked ;D

It was in a cessna 152, but the lessons to follow will be in a 172, it was down for maintenance today.

Can't wait to get back up again!!

tsunami;  It was great. The best thing was that I knew all the instruments. The hardest thing for me was using the pedels for the turn and keeping my right hand off the yoke.

My instructor let/had me take it from the parking spot all the way thru the intire flight. He landed it, said my turn will come after a few more lessons.

I Will go back ;)

I was getting close to soloing, but then I got sick, had an ear infection, got sick again, and now i'm having more ear problems. It's been 820.4 hours (5 weeks tomorrow) since I've been in a cockpit :(

It's Addictive aint it ;D

Great stuff Steve, sounds like you had an awesome experience. Your first flight is the one that causes the most manic grin, until you get your PPL ;)

Congratulations Steve :)

So you have defied the Gods and left terra firma eh???

From the movie "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" If God had meant you to fly he would have given you wings".
Who remembers the daughters response?

Well done Steve you have just opened a whole new world, the experience of flight, I wish you many many happy hours which started when you first took control of the yoke.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug :)

No Flies2little

I saw it at the movies when it first came out and I rent it a least once a year.

I would like to buy it and now I find out it is on CD.

Technically God did give him wings, a pair of metal ones that if you lick in the winter your toung will get stuck to. ;D

Oh yeah, what do you mean by "Terra Firma" Solid Earth?

P.S. where are you from?

Viva la party!
