I didn't post here since I first started my training... But wanted to update! I'm a private pilot as of this past June. Loving every second of it. Took my dad, who beat cancer this year, up for my first passenger flight. I've taken up multiple friends and family members, and even got my brother...

Alright, I just had my 3rd lesson yesterday, and 4th today.... I'm having a great time so far. I'm starting to really get the procedures and order that things are supposed to be done down better, and definitely getting a better feel for the aircraft. Yesterday we practiced steep turns again...
