Pre-Flight
I am thinking of getting my pilots license, just wondering if you guys could share your flying experiences and cool stories as you were doing training? I love hearing these stories!
Just hope that, on your second flight when your instructor introduces you to stalls, that he doesn't say "here's what happens when you don't keep the ball in the center" and then proceed to spin the airplane with no further explanation of what was about to happen.
(I did not fly with that instructor again.)

I think that's pretty much how my dad taught me to drive a jeep when I was 10! a punch in the leg reminded me not to grind the gears, and a punch in the right shoulder kept me between the lines!I knew of one that carried an 18" wooden ruler in his left hand and rested that arm on the left side seat back.
He used it, on the heads of students, who failed to satisfy his standards for proper and correct maneuvering or handling of the aircraft throughout each lesson. This was in the last 8 years too, not 1947.

KBJC gets some of the worst winds around here, for sure... nowhere else in the Denver Metro area have I ever sat at the fence and watched an entire line of Cessna actually flying -- tied down to the cables via chains.
