Pre-takeoff checklist
I hadn't flown in about 3 weeks before Saturday. Sandy and scheduling had kept me grounded.
Locally, Saturday was beautiful. High clgs, light winds and plenty of sun. Just a perfect day to get out.
I pulled the plane out, did the preflight and went up for 5 loops around the pattern. I was sharper than I expected to be, the landings were good and I had a blast. After putting the plane away, I actually felt refreshed and generally in a better mood.
Getting to my question...do you still get the wow from flying? Even a couple trips around the pattern? I'm amazed at how much I really enjoy flying. My wife doesn't get it, but I'm guessing that most of you do. Does that feeling go away or lessen after the hours start to accumulate? As soon as I land, I'm thinking about when I can go up again.
I'm only at 78 hrs (25 since my checkride), but I'm hooked.
