Default RE: how do you improve...

At one point I even talked my wife into going out a bit beyond the runway, and raising her hand when the plane passed over her head.
LMAO...that is the funniest thing I have heard in a while. You got a great gal...you better keep her. She really trust you huh? Duck honey...remember that argument we had last night...honest officer it was an accident! LOL.

Whatever works...I always say.

Seriously though. I always try to stand with my shoulders paralell to the runway. This gives me reference, as I imagine an imaginery line to my left and right. When turning on to final, I fly the plane on a heading paralell to that line if that makes sense. Using this method allows you to focus on the plane and you will develop a sense of where the plane is in relation to you, NOT the surrounding objects.
