Ok this may not seem like a big deal to most of you. BUT I flew my first flight today. Yes, it was only a discovery flight. Lasted all of 30 minutes. But I flew.

This has only confirmed what I had felt. I like it alot.
Now I am looking forward to earning my PPL and then onward and upward.

Awesome! And it IS a big deal! Nothing beats the first time you break contact with the ground under your own power. Congrats.

Most certainly is a big deal! We all started somewhere. Stay safe!

Dude, I'm a regional pilot and I remember VIVIDLY my first flight lesson! It's a HUGE step whether you're going pro or doing it for fun!

Congrats and keep us posted!!

Just like in many other things, in flying there is never anything like the first time! Glad you got the taste.

Update: I am still pumped about the flight. Can't wait now to start my lessons. As soon as I get the money straight I will start training. Van watch out, I have been known to ask a lot of questions of my instructors and White Air is at the top of the list.
Thank you everybody for the encouragement.
