Bro do you even lift
chomping at the bit to get started, I emailed a few CFI's that I hadn't spoken with before. one emailed me back, we spoke on the phone last night, and I asked if first thing this morning we could get started. he agreed!
so off I drove to the further airport ( refer to http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58422 for my dilema on which airport to choose) this morning and met my new instructor. literally, he's not only new to me but new to instructing....I will be his first student!
now I know some of you will have a gripe with this, but I think it could be a good thing for both of us......I told him it reminds me of Jerry McGuire....."help me, help you!"! I think he's eager to instruct, and get that first student solo'd and checked out, so let it be me! and if he's an awesome instructor (who knows, maybe he's even reading this now) I would be happy to spread the word and leave referrals.
so we didn't actually fly, but we spent a good solid 1.5 hours on the ground going over a lot of stuff. we ran through the preflight checklist, sat in the plane, discussed instruments and whatnot.....then we schduled my first flying lesson for Thursday morning WOOOT!!
I can't wait. so, please go easy on the 'new instructor' aspect, I know there's pros and cons but I feel like it's worth a shot.
