March 24, 200422 yr Hi Chris! My name is Chris also, and I have a discovery flight ticket as a gift for Westwind. I would need the 172, I'm about 190 lbs. Is there anything special I should bring? Any specific time or day that is better for traffic and overall enjoyment. I'm looking forward to it, but wanted to wait until the storms and cold were gone :)Thanks,Chris - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
March 24, 200422 yr Generally nothing unless you are susceptible to motion sickness. I carry several motion sickness bags with me, mainly for passengers. I usually get queasy when the flight instructor demonstrates a maneuver, not when I am practicing the maneuver.Otherwise, a good headset, if the aircraft of choice has that capability. If it is going to be really hot outside, you might want to be a bottle of water.Relax and have fun!!!W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
March 24, 200422 yr Hi Chris,If you will e-mail me at [email protected] , I'll give you my phone number, and we can set up a discovery flight for you. The mornings are usually a smoother ride now that its warming up. All you'll need to bring is a smile, because you're going to be using it! :)Also: This topic would have probably fit better into the Hangar Forum. It might end getting moved there. :)
March 25, 200422 yr Author Okay, thanks a lot! I'll e-mail you there.I wasn't sure if you went to the hanger forum.Thanks again,Chris - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
