Me in a real plane...

[Powerke]

Oh boy ...my first try at piloting a real plane.

The airplane was an old Cessna 152.
After the pilot made sure we got without trouble in the air ...he handed the controls to me.
What happened next was awesome ....i was flying a REAL plane.
I could feel the wind , the vibration of the engine , the humm of the prop.
Flying for over 35 mins ...the pilot was amazed with what i already knew about flying a plane (thx to MS FSX).
After lining up the plane towards the landingstrip the pilot got the controls back and we had a bumpy landing

The flying bug has bitten me ....and i am looking for flying lessons in my neighborhood.

Just wanted to share this experience with y'all

[SkyAirWorld]

Welcome to the league of extrodinary gentleman.... also known as a pilot

congratulations

[the_nick]

did he showed you also the great sensation from stalling a plane

[Powerke]

No ...he did not ....and i am glad ...coz i only had one pair of pants with me

It was awesome controlling a plane for the first time EVAH.
Shame he was not alowed to let me try landing that thing ....the earth is pretty hard to miss
But after i find a place where i can get some lessons ...i am sure my first real take off and landing
will be a reality soon .

Thx for the nice responses m8's

Wait till he accidently performs a 90 degree turn then you get the "Whoops, probably should have told you I was going to do that" from the
instructor

Are you talking about while under the hood? I had a FAA examiner do some weird manuevers in preparation for unusual attitude
recovery...the dude almost got me sick...I had to tell him to knock it off

Thats also why you never got past the C208 and ATR Joy

[Joeflyer]

I'm quite happy with both, girlie...what makes you think I wanted to go anywhere else?

I have been informing about flying lessons ....and i have chosen to go for ULM.
Ultralights.
That system is more agreeable with my budget .
And ya have to start somewhere

True... The cost is what is keeping me from getting some more lessons.. Never will forget the sensation when pulling the yoke back for take off and
immediately getting slammed around when the wind tried to gain control of the plane..
