So, Im back from Holland. I`ve done my very first flight where I controled the airplane.....
WOW!!!!!!!  Holy s**t! That was like....wow!  Cant wait to get that PPL...

Anyway, I have some photos I took at the airport in Lelystad, will be putting them up as soon as I can find out how this camera works...


( Some things about this post: 1: Sorry about the...hmm...bad language. But i could not find any other word to descibe the feeling. 2: I know many of you have been flying for real, but this is a new experiance for me, and I just had to tell someone! )

HA HA ! Same here!  8)
I first time I took off I said: “$%&^*^%#^ ^%$^&%* ##%&^**$#%” I can’t type what I said! I think it’s not allowed.  Grin

Believe me, every pilot knows what you felt and it is always nice to hear the stories of new pilots, it brings back memories!

I wish you lots of success on your conversion from a 2D person to a 3D person!  Wink Grin

It really is an incredible feeling.  I don't think it will ever feel right to fly again without a yoke in front of me.  I just had a lesson this past weekend where I flew the pattern and landed her 7 times.  I've never felt more at ease, even more so than when sitting behind a lunch tray in a boeing.  Maybe I'm just a control freak
