First Flight As a Private Pilot!

Ann Arbor - KARB

Took a little trip over to JXN out of YIP for my first flight as a Private Pilot. Took my brave buddy as my first passenger

Nice. Glass cockpit and a grass strip.

Congrats.

Did you shoot the ILS 17 into KARB?

Good for you man - I remember my first PPL flight - took my wife up for a short trip. Was so nervous

Enjoy it - and be safe!

Note the number of planes at Solo... must've been something going on that day in Ann Arbor!

Cool man, looks like a nice day, I havent flown a single in ages.

I believe "Gifted Wings" had something going on and CAP had their annual Michigan Wing SAREX which had 5 aircraft there.

Very cool! Can't wait to do that myself

The ramp was insane yesterday!!!! CAP had a mock search and rescue missions going all weekend. UofM hospital was sponsoring something called feather flights (?) where you could go up and drop a feather for a lost loved one. Young eagles had about 4 planes doing rides. We (solo aviation) had a ton of students flying that day.

I worked the morning shift from 730-3 and it was crazy!
