What Was It Like Flying A Plane?

Flight School

 All this week I have been learning on a similator, which was almost realistic and accurate as flying a actual plane. The simulator helped me feel comfortable and gave me enough understanding that I needed to fly a real plane. Today I actually took of into the air by my self, well there was a licenced pilot in the passanger seat next to me just in case. I flew around for about thirty minutes, the plane actually flew it self so i didn't have to do too much concentrating. As i was flying I looked around on the ground and everything looked sooo small. I was two thousand feet above the ground! Finally I reached another air port where i landed. My landing was really smooth. I only had one week of training but I give my self an A+ because i did "an excellent job" that's what the licenced pilot told me. Afterwards i took pictures in the plane and out side of the plane. I had fun and it was a great experience and i wouldn't mind doing it again.

Rachel, that's really great to hear about your Flight School experience. You did "an excellent job" this whole summer and I'm really excited for you that you got to fly a plane, another pilot with you or not. Show me the pictures sometime, and we can talk about your fall and college plans too.
