My First Flight!

[Joshrk22]

Josh, never feel bad about posts like yours. There'll always be some bitter smarta$$ comments, but most of us enjoy reliving the thrill. Keep it up, demand much from yourself AND your IP since it's your coin, and show up prepared. It'll make the lessons better. Try to keep the flying continuous, no big time off between flights. Good luck!

Great advice right there! Thanks

Awesome.
It sounds lile you're a well prepared and motivated student, especially since you ALREADY passed your written. This puts you ahead in your training. Keep studying and make sure you know whats required of you by looking over the Private Pilot PTS or Practical Test Standards. These are the guidelines that apply to you during the practical test for the certificate.

Congrats on your first flight!! I'm working on my private now. I know what you mean and how you feel about you first flight. I felt that same way too. And I still, like you, have an addiction to this...Keep up the good work and you'll get there sooner than you think! Good luck!

I can't remember my first flight. Not to worry because I hate it now, thanks to the airline industry for killing the dream.

Attitude killed your dream. I despise killjoys like you. Be happy for this guy as he is a welcomed breathe of fresh air. We'd be so fortunate to think Josh is a new breed of positive, enthusiastic pilots.

Josh, this is the kind of guy that is soiling the industry. No matter how many people you come across that hate this industry, the only thing that matters is how much you enjoy your future job. If you truly love flying, their is no better thing that you can do.

I concur with my colleagues on this board, congrats on your first flight. I, too, remember my first flight and that is a day that will always be with me. Best of luck with your training.

Josh,
Congrats...Although it can be a tough industry at times...follow your heart. It will pay off in the end. I still remember my first flight like it was yesterday, but, the one you will remember the most is your solo. Its something that nobody can explain, you just have to do it. Please keep us updated on the site as to how things are going. Once again, congrats.

Also, dont listen to all the negitive BS on here about your decisions. Just have fun and enjoy it.
