I'm not really sure what to write in this post but I am mainly using it as an excuse to not study for my aircraft systems test...haha.

I guess I'll talk about flying. It's awesome. The one thing I am disappointed about is that I'm not really able to look out of the plane as much as I would like. To like look at how high above the ground we are or what types of building and such we are flying over. They're mostly farm houses but it's still cool looking at them from the air.

My flight training is going well and I look forward to every flight. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I had a few butterflies every time I contort myself to fit into the C-152 transport. That's funny because the word "transport" makes it seem like its a big plane when in fact it is apparently the second smallest primary training aircraft in the United States. They are really good airplanes to learn to fly in except it being a high wing, it's kind of hard to judge turns correctly to the left which is the traffic pattern we normally fly.

Today we did seven touch and goes and the workload is definitely starting to be transferred from my instructor to me. I have to take care of all the checklists and radio calls in addition to flying the aircraft correctly and safely. But I am getting them down and I notice definite improvement in my ability to fly and multi-task from flight to flight. Well that's all for tonight folks!
