Filing Flight Plan
Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I started flight training on a whim 6 weeks ago, Friday 9-9-11 I solo-ed after 14 hours of training.
I tend to jump into everything headfirst. I did a lot of reading about training and also buying planes and what to look for. 2 weeks ago I took delivery of a 1970 Cherokee 140, 600 hrs on the engine, under 3,000 on the airframe. New paint and new interior, freshly IFR certified with a vr80 GPS.
The first 10 hours of training was in my instructors 172. My 140 climbs a tad slower but lands a whole lot nicer especially with any type of cross winds. It's also a whole lot prettier
Lots more work to do, more cross countries and night flying. I tend to have just a bit of fear, healthy fear I believe. I ride a Harley and I think the many years of riding has given me a bit of extra "focus".
I'm sure I will have a million questions,,, First how do I get a picture in my post? It's in an album I just created.
