I Officially Returned to the Air!!!

[Bigey]

Alright so 16 it is, the big day tomorrow, and i started back up my lessons as of today.

Planning on going every other day (gotta balance work) for some flying lessons.

But today started me back up, and it certainly brought some stuff back up. The air sickness i had controlled from earlier flying (bout 1 1/2 years ago) came back, and hard. But after about half an hour it seemed to settle down somewhat. Since it seemed to be pretty windy over the practice point and bumpy, we decided to just some basic manerveurs and just get a feel for the plane again. It feels great to finally be at peace with myself. Once i'm in the air i'm just in heaven and having a blast (minus the air sickeness part).

I did manage to be completely on the ball today (even though first day back) and everything went well. Managed to do all the radio calls for once today. Anyways, just wanted to give a notice since i'm happy as hell!

Tomorrow getting the medical and soon comes the solo!

That's great, I'll be back next year too. That is if I save enough to finally get my PPL.

That's awesome Shervin!! Glad to hear you're back up. Do you fly out of Brackett? Once you and Armen have your certs we need to do a fly in.

For sure about the fly in!!

I fly out of Chino.

Heard some pretty wicked stories yesterday though from the owner (i went up with him). The partner in starting the FBO died 4 years ago in a mid-air. The owner himself got in a mid-air (not enough damage to kill them).

We got to about 3500 feet over practice area and it just got choppy as hell. We stayed for a lil bit, did some manervuers and then returned.

My first class appointment got cancelled today, so i'm hoping i can get the medical. For now, i'm planning on going up tomorrow. We'll see how everything goes.

Awsome!

I just got up Friday after 3 months off and sheessh, once you work on landings, take regular lessons, you wont regret it. Just, believe me.

Great to hear, keep it up!

Hah!

I'll believe myself! I enjoy flying thouroughly but i stopped because i was only 14 at the time. A waste of damn time to me to fly and fly, but once you learn all the stuff you cant even solo. So no where to really advance there. I'm 16 now, can solo now and will start flying much more.

Yeah, kinda the same story here over last Summer, but I just turned 16 on Friday so I'll need a good 6-7 ours till I feel comfortable to solo. Ive got the presolo test to, so I'm starting to get excited. Now I jsut need money, something I don't have.
