|
|
I took my first airborne flight lesson today!
My instructor and I took off from Butler Co/Scholter at about 12:00 in a Piper Warrior, did some turning practice, then landed. It was only an introductory flight, but it was much more interesting than flying on a computer! |

Well, we had alot of turbluence, so it was like using the simulator on a roller coaster! alot more difficult
simming did help me in knowing about all the instruments, and how they respond to the aircraft's movements, but im pretty much starting from scratch when im in a real plane. |

| yeah- i really have grown to love panels in piper aircraft. They really make it seem like more of a car than an aircraft- a better learning experience |

might i, young lad, point you into the direction of physics and calculus if you have not already pondered those subjects?
they are very beautiful indeed. |
