Thanks. I actually enjoyed reliving the lesson again. It'll keep me going until my next lesson. Actually the Student flyout comes round before my next lesson.
G-BLEW
Did you go flying in the end? It was partly reading these types of accounts that decided me to start the lessons. I couldn't handle everyone else talking about flying while I was stuck on the ground.

Damn. If I lived a bit closer I might have tried to persuade you with the offer of lunch or something.

I think that's a good idea. I've had much enjoyment from writing about my first three lessons, when my little boys are old enough they may enjoy these little accounts.

You have nothing to be scared of. By the sounds of it you're a well read sort of chap. I think that having the theory under your belt will stand you in good stead when the time comes. (Crossing my fingers that it's the next couple of weeks or so)

Thanks. So how did your 'urgent business meeting' go?

I was thinking of making a checklist to ensure that I run through the checklist properly. A checklist checklist. Hmmmmm? No. I don't think that'll catch on. I thnk I'll probably continue with the diary type thing and when if I eventually qualify, I'll always try to take someone up with me, if for no other reason than to work the camera.

I did more than read your diary. I copied it. I just changed names and places!
This engine starting thing of mine is going to be my trade mark. I can see it being a good wind up for my instructor. That said, it might backfire on me (no pun intended) when they give me a bill for the broken engine.

Thank you. I'm glad you said that because it's exactly the way I feel. Otherwise the entire process of learning to fly would be so overwhelming. It's all still very alien to me so each new thing I do makes me feel that bit more comfortable in my new environment.
It's nice to be able to come here and share things ike this because no one else I talk to about it has the first clue about what it feels like.

I'll keep a look out for that red pole. I might even ask the flying instructor if he can show it to me. *Snarf snarf*. I hope this is not the aviation equivalent of the 'golden rivet'.
I'm frightened to comment on Transair in case they decide to sue me. LOL.
The time certainly does fly. Althought the poor people living under the training area probably don't think so
Hehehehehe
