Thanks to my girlfriend for giving me a flying lesson as a birthday gift. I finally got to go up yesterday for about 30 mins and fly a Cessna 172 pictured here. I have been studying for years, reading books, and playing flight sims, so I had a really good idea how most of the plane operated, but I have never physically been up until yesterday. I loved it! The instructor was impressed how much I knew and realised that I had a passion for flying. I am not sure if I will continue my lessons since they are so expensive, and this was an intro flight to get my feet wet. You never know though. I got to fly over the Gulf of Mexico a bit and get the feel of the controls.
