I saw the plane I'll be flying and turned into a kid

So I met with my flight instructor today. He has been flying for twice as long as I've been alive, so I feel like I'm in good hands. First he went over all the boring paper work, I signed some waiver that said I wouldn't hold him responsible if the plane crashed into an orphanage. Then he took me out to see the Cessna 152 we'd be later be flying.

It immediately turned me into a 5 year old with a new toy. I examined the cockpit and asked a million questions all the while with a big grin on my face. Even though I had seen planes before, this was my plane. It was like my first time driving in a Ferrari. You try to keep a straight business like composure but you just can't.

And I thought flying across state lines would be akin to getting a passport to North Korea, but it isn't. Within a couple months I could be flying solo to other states. That is so cool.

I think I'm in love

*jumps up and down on a couch*

 

And by 'my plane' I don't mean that I legally own it, more in the 2 year old "it's mine" way.

 

Saturday is coming up quick, and by quick I mean that time has come to a complete standstill. I can't wait.

 

Been having some trouble with the weather lately so I've only been up two times. But what times they were. I saw my house from the air! I flew all over my county. When I passed over the BMW dealership I felt like yelling, "don't get that 7 series, get one of these!"

What is there to say. I can turn the plane pretty well and stay within an altitude range of 75 feet, I'm sure a lot of people here could do it within 1 millimeter but I'll get there. It's just a complete wow experience. I don't even get airsick!

I had practiced on Flight Simulator X which was surprisingly realistic. In fact I took a turn a little too confidently for my instructor because of my previous 'flight training'

In 9 hours, weather permitting, I'll be up in the air again. Then I'll drive my roadster to a car meet, then I'll be going snowboarding. When did life become so much fun?

 

Canceled again due to high winds

 

haha thank you mystery spam bot!

Since I made the OP I've been up for 19 hours. I'll be closing the deal and soloing soon.

My original instructor had a heart attack, he's ok but can't fly for another couple months. So I've been flying with two other instructors from the club. Life is good.
