Just got home from my first lesson. I fly out of KSYR so we got in before the big storm. It ended up being .9 but it felt like 20 minutes. It was great and the most fun i have ever had. My instructor did a negative g dive and made a pen float up to the top windshield. I taxied with a little of my instructors help, took of behind a regional jet, and were airborne! I did most of the flight and we ended up shooting a visual approach using the ILS instrument so I shot the approach with my instructor trimming it for me on the approach and at about 20 feet he took the controls and landed it! It was amazing and it puts everything in a completely new perspective! For anyone traveling to syracuse or anywhere in the northeast, expect most airports to be closed. Buffalo is closed and Rochester is close to closing at the time of my lesson!
