Intro Flight, February 19, 2005

I did the $50 intro flight, knowing full well that I would sign up, but I wanted the tourist version first, where I just got a plane ride. It wasn't what I expected; It's all set up to get you interested in flying yourself. I suppose that I did get to sit by and watch on the radio calls, whereas lately I've been doing them all myself. What's surprising even now is how natural it feels to fly, to do such an enourmously un-human thing and not be completely freaked out by it.

We went to the practice area south of Wheeler Army Airfield, and then back to Honolulu. Taxiing was harder than flying, but then this was before my crosswind solo to Lanai.
