Student pilot ..way out of current.
Best times: The hour over Florida in Crazy Horse with Lee Lauderback talking me thru the stuff I do in the Arena
His pre-brief question: 'how many hours have you had' ..answer: 'simulated? or actual?' ..ROFL.
His de-brief: 'You wear the airplane and did better than people I have seen with thousands of hours, you could solo in it right now'
He still doesn't beleive I only had 18 hours total, counting that one
The hour over the fields north of Madera after the warbird show in a PT-17 Stearman buzzing radio towers, I had 3 hours total ..then
You know the flying wires actually do humm and you can gauge flare speed by the tone change ..that was *cool* to learn.
The hour in my first 'stick' airplane, an Aeronca Champ ..and being left behind by a hawk (the actual bird) as he looked over his shoulder at me, and dove away.. ROFL!
I still only have 18 hours dual .. it was some of the most fun I have had on the planet with a machine.
