Went out last night with my instructor, took off flew the pattern, did several touch and goes. Then my instructor took the plane up really high, and killed the engine and told me to bring it down in one piece. Brought her in for a nice landing, we refueled the plane and he told me to 5 takeoffs and landings, after I landed it the fifth time he pulled the buddy cord and said that I was good to go. Took the plane off and did a couple pattern circles and low fly-bys. On my second to last pattern trip I gave the trainer a victory roll over the run way, all the people there were clapping. Turned onto final and had a picture perfect landing and taxi'd all the way back to the pits. My dad told me afterwards that seeing me do that made all the money he spent on Nintendo and computer games all worth it.
