Bluedog Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Hi all, Finally started lessons after years of dreaming and saying I was going to do it. My fiancée had enough of me talking about it and booked me a trial flight over Christmas. I managed to squeeze one more flight in before I flew back out for work, and now I'm counting down the days until I can head home and get up for a few more! I'm training at Bathurst, NSW, Australia and feel pretty fortunate to have found an instructor who makes me feel very comfortable in the learning environment. I was very nervous during the first flight but his calm and friendly approach made me give it another go and I absolutely loved the next flight! I've had an obsession with aircraft since I was a kid so it's amazing to be going through this experience, and to be honest, it's more than I expected............. Bluedog 1

Piet Fil Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Blue dog, I think that's one of the joys of flying for me, the fact that you are continually learning, maintaining and refining your skills at all times. Welcome and fly safe Phil 1
cscotthendry Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Uh, oh. Another addict for Aviators Anonymous... don't let anyone tell you it's bad for your health. Maybe bad for your wallet's health, but we're here for a good time, not a long time. 1
Rocketing Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Welcome Bluedog, You will have a lot of fun this year! I did my TIF on 18 October 2012 and got my Pilot Certificate on 22 Dec. The best 2 months I have had in a long long long time. :) The best is when you can watch a plane fly overhead and not thing 'one day' but "maybe this afternoon?" Enjoy! 1
