Well last week I took my first Intro Flying lesson . Since my boat is laid up for the winter I figured it would be a good time to try my hand at something I have really been interested in from a far. The wife gave me two hrs of instruction plus flying time, for Xmas last year and I went up last sat. I was shocked to meet my instructor who, was younger than 3 out of my 4 children. At 21 he looked too young to drive a car never mind a plane. Turns out he's a pretty good pilot already he's been flying for 4 years and an instructor for 1 . We. Started with some ground instruction and then we (I) taxi'ed to the runway where we got clearance to take off, I looked at the captain he nodded , I gave the Cessena 172 full throttle we where moving down the runway and before too long I pulled back on the yolk and she gently lifted off the ground, my heart stopped and I could hear myself breathing, not from fear from excitement . I flew the entire time out over the Long Island sound and then over my house just off the north shore. We flew over my marina on the south shore and witnessed the damage from above. After lining the plane up to the runway at Republic Airport, the captain took the controls over , I still can't believe he had me take full control until we where ready to land, guess they really want to sell flight lessons? It was an experience I will never forget and can't wait to start flight school (hopefully soon) . Here's a few pics.
Next huge step is your first solo flight. I remember mine as it was yesterday!
