Default I finally did it!

Friday was my first flight and the plane was a Cessna 172. I went up for an 1 hour intro lesson and it was all I ever dreamed! My instructor was a retired RAF F-4 pilot and handed over the cessna from the second I turned the ignition. He's stressing instrumentation and proper flight and I think I'm in pretty good hands. After some maneuvers and a few touch and goes I can honestly say I'm hooked!
