| Lesson Two | 29 Jun 2009 18:53 GMT | 5 |
Some improvement with level turns today, but not enough better, just can't
seem to get enough elevator in. I confessed that I might have got too "book

Combining two of my favorite things (flying and computer technology) I
took my new iPhone with me into wave and shot some video with it:

It was an amazing day. I topped out at 10,000ft and could have gone

| Lessons Four and Five | 24 Jun 2009 21:19 GMT | 3 |
An object lesson on fitness for flight. Friday I went out for my fourth
flight lesson. This did not go as well as I might have hoped. I had spent
a long, hard day at work and I was exhausted.
We began with more simulated instrument flight, working on the basics of

Well, I finally made it, first solo! Flew a Blanik L-23 at Seminole

| Lesson Three | 18 Jun 2009 23:45 GMT | 2 |
After almost three weeks of bad weather and other delays, things finally
lined up for my 3rd flight lesson yesterday. It's weird how quickly a break
in flying can get your head out of the game, but it ended up being a good

| Lesson Three. NOT! | 12 Jun 2009 22:00 GMT | 6 |
I'm beginning to develop a very dim view of the weather.
After just two training flights, this unbelievable weather system moved in
