My first flying lesson
Had my first flight experience today, a Christmas present courtesy of my wife. Amazing, 30 minutes on ground instruction followed by one hour in the air in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. I thought it would be 'OK we're up to altitude, take the stick for 15 minutes and fly straight and level'. Nothing like. Apart from take off, the first 5 minutes and landing the instructor's hands were never on the stick. I flew it all! Very demanding, but also exciting.

Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing your adventure in the skies.
Have you taken any other courses on flying before?
No, first time up in a light aircraft.
You're a lucky guy being married to a woman who would give you a gift that expands your horizons.
She's amazing.
