Potato will be flying his first plane this afternoon

[Potato]

4 hours from now. Both scared and anxious.

Thousands of takeoffs / landings on a cpu game can't prepare you for this.

Goog luck Potato. After seeing your softball skills, I know you will land the plane smoothly. You are a very streamlined guy.

Lol nice one Matty.

Potato I'd say Good Luck but you sound more than prepared for this. Sounds like an amazing experience.

Enjoy brother.

Good luck Potato. Just remember what goes up must come down.

God's speed Tater and may your next landing not be your last, literally.

Nice potato!! Why are you scared? Sounds like fun to me!

How did you get stared. I'm interested in getting mine as well but am waiting for a little more capital and some more online reading.

Thought I wanted to learn too until I realized that I suffered from really bad motion sickness in these small cuckoos. I've sprayed the contents of my stomach all over the south shore of Montreal on the 3 flights I took with my pilot buddy.

If God had intended for me to fly he wouldn't have allowed Southwest to charge 2-1 for us fat people.

Took a nap, woke up feeling great.

LETS DO THIS.

Good luck potato! Hire this guy as a flight attendant if you ever become a commercial pilot

 

[Matty]

Cougar is not a fan of flying, but has to on occasion

We flew a piper archer from Henderson Executive, circled around Jean, did a few turns just to get a feel for the aircraft, and headed back to fly a visual landing. No autopilot. Instructor helped Potato out a bit on the landing flare and speed, everything else was him. Taxing the aircraft was probably the hardest part of the flight, simply because you have a habit of using the yoke (wheel of a car) instead of steering with the rudder pedals.
