I had some fun this weekend at another flight lesson. My fiancée came with me to the flight school, intending to sit in the car and get some work done while I was flying. She came in with me, to use the bathroom, and I introduced her to my instructor. When I was done with the pre-flight and ready to go up, we headed to the plane. My instructor wondered where my fiancée was. I told him she was in the car, working. He figured she was coming with. Knowing that was okay with him, I went and got her. She put her work off for a while to enjoy some flying.
I worked on some ground reference maneuvers, such as turns around a point, S-Turns, and rectangular courses. It went well. I hadn’t done them in three years, but seemed to pick up on it pretty quickly.
I’m hoping to only have two or three more lessons doing things other than practice landings, and only a few doing landings. Conceivably, I could solo again before the end of September. Very exciting!!!
