This is the plane I learned to fly with - XBR. It's a little Cessna 150. I liked my little X-Ray Brava Romeo but now I fly a Cessna 152. It`s bigger but not by a lot.
Once I got stuck flying by myself in the mist. It was very much a nightmare. Couldn't see anything. At least in a car I can pull over the side of the road. Ain't doing that in an airplane though...
This is the Cessna 152 I fly now. Learned how to solo on a 172. Prefer smaller though. The larger airplanes make me feel tiny. I already have to put two pillows on the seat so I can reach the controls.
I really like flying. Not going to lie and say I loved it right on take off. It took me about five flights with my instructor to become comfortable in the air. The best time for flying is early in the morning in the winter. When the air is cold and the sky is clear. In the summer, the weather is great to be on the earth but not in the atmosphere. Heat rises and makes bumps in the sky. On the road you can see the potholes, in the air you can't. Flying along and all of a sudden....!!!! Hit the bumps and it can be scary. But I'm a good pilot and know how to handle it.
| My first plane ride with passengers...my family! Well, most of them. Mama and Devin stayed on the ground. My father was a little worried and asked if that wasn't a good thing to do - all most all of the fam in the plane. |
| Acadia from the air! Air Lea that is... Can kind of see Sem. L shaped building to the right. Big semi-circle object is plane wheel. |
| I am the one landing that plane! Youpi! Funfun. Notice windsock, tells me that wind is straight down the runway so no trouble. |
