Sweet! I remember when my instructor first solo'ed me in the airplane. I thought I was ready until just after liftoff, when absolutely everything felt wrong. He weighed 30-40 pounds more than me, so my entire flight training I'd been skewing the controls slightly left to keep things level. Change that -40 pounds balance to +170 when he got out, and everything was absolutely wrong. I got the hang of it, but the first touch and go had a very high pucker factor :)

I love your descriptions- gets my heart speeding up just thinking about it.

I felt really calm about it while it was going on. We got back and Garrett's mom gave us some Ice Tea and funnel cake and we chatted. They were getting ready for a ride event at a local fair so there were a few more people around. I still playied it really cool.

Then I got in my car for the drive home (called DW to say that I was on the way, still playing it cool).

Then I had an hour drive to site there and contemplate what had just happened :)

No time to read right now, but you're cool and I'm jealous! ;)

now if all of my friends would just get together any buy me a BlackHawk we could have some kick ass parties. Imagine the trouble we could get into?

That would be step 1 in the island nation. ;)

you need richer friends, buddy. :)
but that's awesome! way to fly around and be all cool & shit! ::fawn, fawn::

[dolmangar]

You're right, I need richer friends. So either start making some more money, or you'll get cut from the team and I'll have to replace you :)

On second thought, as long as you continue to fawn over me, maybe I'll take you for a ride some day :)
