| It was amazing. I always would watch the other pilots before i got into my training and just dream about being incharge of an airplane. From makin the radio calls to turning the aircraft lights on. It was a beautiful day in spokane, no wind, no clouds i couldnt have asked for better conditions. As i got my clearance to takeoff, it finally hit me. I gave it full throttle and hit the skies!! Even though i just stayed in the pattern for 3 stop and goes, it felt like much more in my eyes. Flying just went to the next level for me and i feel like i cant get enough of it. It all went perfectly. Thank you for the support!! |

| You should come up for touch and goes next Wednesday or Friday at 6pm. I'd be glad to hold short for you in the brown 767.

Just watch out for the centerline lights on 3/21! I hit those the other day in a Beech Sport and I thought I lost about every rivet in the airplane.
