Friends First Flight Ever!

11 hours to go!

Well I had a flight lesson yesterday and it was fun. We practiced soft and short field landings and takeoffs for the most part of the lesson. I was doing very well and performed the maneuvers the best I have ever done. Also I had my friend come flying not only to enjoy the magic of flight but to take video for the movie I am making for my Audio&Video Production class. We were at the airport for about 2 hours just filming anything and everything a student pilot does during a lesson. It was fun and hope to have the movie all edited in about 2 weeks. Ill make sure to put it up here. As the title says I have 11 more hours till I legally have enough hours to get my PPL. Although I wont be 17 and Ill probably need more hours since most do. All in all I am enjoying getting hours and cant wait till May to have my license, until then its a matter of cross country's and solos. The latest thought I have had was about ATP flight school. I was wondering what you all think about it. Have you gone there for training? Do you like it? Was it worth it?
Thanks and Until Next Time,
Ian

Rust is not fun

Ahhh well I feel great to be back on blogger and write about my flying adventures again. A short golf season, yet feeling long pulled me away from my love, Flying.Im back into the swing of things and ready to fly again. Today I had my first lesson in about 3 months, ya I know what your thinking. Well, the rust was not as thick as a presumed it would be. We decided to go up and do basic maneuvers such as S-turns , turns around a point and various climbs and turns. For how simple they sound they can be a bit challenging. Making a circle in the sky is harder then it looks. All in all I was so happy to write one more hour in the book. It didn't seem like it had been that long for when I hopped in the left seat and started it up it felt like I was home again.
Until Next Time,
Ian
