For REAL!!! It was an awesome experience. My first lesson. It was in a C 172 and of course it isquite a bit different visceral experience than the FS program.But the help and understanding I have gained and am gaining from it as well as from all of you is immeasurable.Louis

My Congratulations to you both! What an awesome feeling, enjoy it as much as you can.Ed, who did that video for you?Best Regards,Jim

Congratulations Louis !^^^ yeah, just wait until the first solo cross country. The first solo is all concentration, at least it was for me. It wasn't until the cross country solo's that I was able to relax and enjoy flying like an eagle ;)

Hi LouisI've been very busy the last week and kind of lost track of things here. What fantastic news to learn that you are taking flying lessons! I'm sure it's an awsome experience, and since you have a skill with words, I hope you will share your experiences with us. Looking forward to hearing more.David

Thank you very much David. That means a lot.I understand if you acknowledged my being a recording musician orespecially the fact that I just happen to be god's gift to women, but wonder why you speak of me having a skill with words.Please don't misunderstand. I accept the compliment and am flattered.Are you a pilot outside of flight sim?I know others will attest to the kind of rush, high and ensuing quick addiction brought about by flying.At first, I was very nervous. When we lifted off it hit me that this is for REAL. But then I calmed down and am focused on my goal of oneday achieving a Private Pilot License.Louis

Oh great!!!Now I'm gonna have the Steve Miller Band running through my head for a week! ;-) :-lol

Hi Jim,My daughter shot the video (Whole family was there) of me doing 3 touch and go's to be written off for solo, and then i put it together with Pinnacle software.Ed
