Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler I got the fly today!

hehe, no really I got to do some of the flying today while up in a small plane. We needed to do some work on the far east side of Iowa (I'm in Nebraska) so we had a friend fly us there. I got to try it on the way there and did do it for quite a while on the way back. I know it's not the hard parts (take off and landing) but was fun none the less. I've always wanted to learn how but it takes time and money which I just don't have at this time in my life. But one can always hope for later in life.

OK I'm done with my 5 yr old moment.

Hey, man. I'm jealous. I was really into flight simulators for a while and have never lost the desire to fly a real plane. Someday...

Oh, how fun! You know, I thought I saw you up there!

We flew into Muscatine. Nice lil town.

My aunt who lives in Missouri owns a small cessna (I think that is what it is, something similar) plane. She let me take the co-pilot controls when I was up there. She hasn't let me fly since. Maybe it was because I wanted to see if the plane could do a loop.

Way to go INANE.
I also got to fly yesterday.
I soloed (sp) my RC sailplane for the first time yesterday.
Not the "real" thing but a lot of fun none the less.

Is your nickname "stall-boy"?

Alright, fellow aviation enthusiast. Glad you enjoyed your flight INANE, hopefully you'll be able to do the lessons some day ... soon.

That's one of those things that is on my list as well. I think it would be fun to learn to fly. Definately one of the things I would do if I hit the lottery and didn't have to work, but had tons of time to spend on things I wanted to do.

I've already taken my 1st three sailplane lessons (full scale/not RC) and hope to complete them by the end of summer.
This is type of sailplane (ship) I'm taking lessons in.
The Grob 103 Twin Astir.
