Just got me license and I'm piss'n on every tree I see!

Oh how it must suck to be a mire mortal.

Seriously.. if your thinking about it.. DO IT. Beg, borrow or steal if you have to. You won't be sorry.

Words of Wisdom

My first flight instructor told me on my first flight to remember:

"It is always better to be on the ground and wish you were flying than to be flying and wish you were on the ground"

Be prepared and always remember in an emergency never quit flying the aircraft. Only had a couple of inflight emergencies nothing major. But I have had several instances while driving a car that I was able to drive my way out of of several accidents.

Congrats welcome to the club.

Good Luck and when in doubt stay on the ground.

Gixer,

Ability to fly backwards is a sign of a real pilot

Don't think the learning is over just yet.

hehe Gixer, I'm with ya!
Been a commercial helicopter pilot for 10 years....still learning how to fly the damn things. Oh well, at least I only ever scare myself now.
Clocked a Mallard duck at 60 mph last spring. Who knew a duck was so fast?

So true..."Flying is mans second greatest thrill.....Landing is the first."

If the wing dont swing, it ain't a wing.
