Default Finally got to fly IMC!

Got an unexpected suprise today when a cold front came thru during my a ground lesson and a clear day turned into 1100 overcast. Went on an hour flight to a nearby airport, shot the ILS then came back and shot a GPS appr. It was amazing to put your training to use without a hood. Felt weird and uncomfortable for a moment when I first penetrated the cloud but eventually I got used to it. When we broke thru to the top I learned a new lesson, bring sunglasses! The low overcast made it feel like I was at 30,000 feet instead of 4,000. Today was definitely a day I'll remember forever!
