I giggled. But I don't know how true that is unfortunately. All the instructors here seem to think i'm liable.

Well I haven't even solo'd yet. He told me to fill it up and it happened :/ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2

Alright fellas, time to bring the post back to the OP, you know, me ;) SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Last flight lesson was weird. We talked about emergency landings and why being a safe pilot is planning ahead, scouting for areas to emergency land etc. I enjoyed the preflight lesson but in flight was...
