While this thread does address the common issues experienced while learning to fly, it ended up being meeting place for a bunch of strangers that end up as great internet friends. Please feel free to use this thread to continue saying HI, staying in touch, asking questions, posting pictures, bragging about accomplishments or even venting about rough times. We welcome everyone with open arms here.
