RE: GA Pilots
Wait until you solo, then you'll be HOOKED! Something about that feeling, like when your first child is born, that you get when you are all by yourself and you feel the wheels break ground and the plane becomes free from the restriction of gravity. How you become aware that this plane is a part of your body as you first fight to gain control as it sways and lifts, then falls at the mercy of the wind and thermals. And then the feeling of total satisfaction and self worth when you make those wheels again touch the ground and feel that bump in the seat of your pants and extends all the way to the tip of your head. I still have that feeling 17 years after I have soloed.
