Heres the setting..

8am.. Sun breaking through the light cloud cover.. I finally get to Fly my Nexstar trainer. (Buddy cord setup)

First time out.. instructor takes it up.. gets it up some.. and Says ok your control lets practice doing a square flying pattern...

No prob... mission accomplished.. he brings it around approaches and lands no prob.

refuel plane.. while talking about what we were doing up there ..

We get it ready again. and i ask. can i try taking off. Sure no prob.. just go easy.. and pull up gently when its got enough speed..


Sure enough... i get it off the ground No problem =) now that i made the initive to take off.. he said lets practice approaches.. putting the deck say 30-40 feet up. So after about 5 passes and approach lines ups.. I told him.. I wanted to bring it in.

he said.. if i loose control right off the deck and he tries to take control he might not be able to save it.. I said i was ready..
(Take in mind.. this is my first time really flying and the first time flying this plane)

Brought it around.. cut the throttle.. and slowly.. making quick adjustments here and there.. lined it up.. slowly brining it down..

*Cut scene to a 3 point perfect landing*


the instructor.. Just kinda stood there.. and after about a min of my plane idling on the runway after landing.. he said.. hey.. My thumb hurts from holding the trainer button... I didnt have to take it once.. and you basicly just soloed your first time..

*Cut scene* Me running around yelling Yeah baby thats what im talking about
I asked myself.. Did i just win like it mattered or what..

the instructor Rob. was simply amazed and had never seen such control in the air as a beginner and was really truly blown away by me. And said so the rest of the morning as we chatted about everyhing. I must say.. Having just gotten into this sport and finally gotten to fly my plane.. just to take control like that he said.. you sir are a statistic ... that 2% that could go out and Fly without an instructor outta the box..

Ok.. so i got to make about 4 more Runs up doing the pattern around the field touch and goes.. using the rudder.. just training stuff.. Im like so psyched.. i cant believe it..

I mean last night i tried to go to bed at 9pm thinking.. the faster i get to sleep.. the earlier tomorrow comes... and Here on that day.. I basicly soloed my 2nd time up ever..

now ive never flown a plane before.. and this really was my first time on the plane. Guess all my intense "Twitch" Playing games where im constantly moving or adjusting somthing paid off for this lol =)

So here i am at work now.. waiting for the moment to get out to get home.. plug my chargers in and try and get to bed so tomorrow can come that much faster.

Now i want to really believe that i showed great potentinal and control in the air.. but is this instructor just kinda putting me up? is someone soloing and flying for the first time on the first day a common thing?

Anyways! back to "Work" and thoughts of tomorrows flying adventures
