Good to see you're flying with the wings in the correct position vertically, relative to the body of the aircraft  ;D


Hope it goes well  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Good ol' "Traumahawk"!  ;D
I took my first lesson (intro flight) in one, and enjoyed it.
Good luck with your new addiction... ;D

Tomahawks are GREAT trainers ! Lotsa interior room, and good visibility...

And they really teach you to nail airspeeds... the consequences for deviations from things like, Vx/y, Vref, Vbest-glide, are demonstrated well.
