Had my first lesson yesterday!

Hey everyone!

If I am posting this in the wrong location, please move it, but it finally started my journey yesterday with flying after all these years of dreaming about it.

It was bumpy yesterday but I embraced the challenged!

I also embrace the challenged whenever I come across them. Flying is just a job, my real passion is my hobby.

Welcome to the club. Study hard and get your ticket because the best step up from the 140 is a Archer oh and the Arrow (especially the Arrow...).

Hey guys, want to share you guys some of my progress. I just soloed this past Thursday 5/22. Here are some photos and videos are coming soon.

I also made a switch to a Warrior II

Grats, buddy! That's awesome! That's a hell of a feeling, isn't it? I remember thinking "crap am I really flying this aircraft by myself?" Definitely one of my greater accomplishments.

He cut the tail off your white shirt. Then you're wearing a black shirt. What am I missing?

 

[moxiepilot]

I like your instructor. I thought I was the only one who cut off the entire backs of your shirt to make a design you could frame and remember for a lifetime. Congrats to you too.

This wasn't my best one, but the only one I could pull off the internet since I'm no where near home....

I was wearing a undershirt underneath.

 

[BravoHotel]

Cool. Good for you. The first step of the journey.

 

[ChasenSFO]

Awesome dude! I wish my shirt was cut, not a lot of schools out here do it. Keep going until you have that green plastic card in hand!

 

[mshunter]

You do realize that you are now totally screwed right. You'll never get enough. It's like drugs. And your first solo is like that first hit of crack.

Great job using small corrections on the landing!

No one ever cut my shirt when I solo'd! Can someone come cut my uniform now?

You'll remember that grin you are showing in the photo above, the feeling of accomplishment and excitement for a long damn time. Just don't over think anything, take some practice flights and relax. Don't over control anything and try to be calm. You'll be fine. Good luck!!
