I'm sure many of you are wondering to yourself (maybe out loud who knows): "Why didn't we get a blog post after his first flight?"
Well - thanks to the exciting new iPhone 2.2 firmware upgrade and the 1,000,000 rebuilds I had to do to get my phone working again, the photos were lost. Honestly, how can I post about my flying without a photo. So consider this my "first flight" photo:
That's the infamous aircraft I'm learning in - the Piper Acher III (PA-28-181). It's a glass cockpit with the Avidyne system and 2 Garmin 430's. I love it - really fun to fly and easy to use. Today we covered stalls which were a lot less than I thought they'd be - very simple recovery and not too much action really. I guess that's the point. We did some "Dutch Rolls" which were a lot of fun, followed by some REALLY fun wingovers. Then of course th landing - which I got to "do" for the first time - Lou is great about letting me handle the controls. I'm really looking forward to my next lesson - we're planning to do a lot of pattern work at Galt airport - that's next Saturday. You'll hear all about it I'm sure.
