After many years of wanting to learn how to fly, I finally made the commitment to make it happen. I had previously met with my instructor Nick and we decided that today would be my introductory flight.
Since it is Tucson, just about every day is a good day to fly. We met at 6AM and Nick had the airplane ready to go. We hopped in, me in the left seat, and taxied out towards the runway. I surprised Nick when I knew how to taxi the airplane(with your feet) and did a reasonable job of keeping us on the centerline. After the pre-flight check, we get our clearance and Nick informs me that he'll do the power/steering, but I would do the take-off. We accelerate up to 60MPH, I rotate the elevators and off we go.
During this flight, I worked on climbs, descents, straight & level and turns. Quickly the time is up and I fly us back to the airport and enter the traffic pattern. Nick takes the control and my first flight is up.
