OMG had a most awsome day.
easy day at school. no tests, teachers taking it easy on us, no biggie,, on my way to math class " my last class of the day "
A friend of mine in my aviation class ask me if I wanted to go flying. LOL um duh!!!! hell yes.
First I should say that I have wanted to get my pilots lic. for ever. Any chance of going up I jump at.
After math we loaded up in his car and headed out to a small unrestricted airport in creswell Or. and rented a cessna 152. spent a bit of time going over the pre-flight checklist, fun things like making sure the wings are bolted on and such, haha anyway.
carb heat on , full rich , crack the throttle maybe a 1/4 in , yell "CLEAR!!" out the window and turn the switch, WOOT IGNITION.
Ok engine running first thing check oil presure, ????? All good, radios on. 144.00 gtg. start moving and my bud tells me to go ahead and take over, WOOT HAHA I'M DRIVING ,so we get down to the end of the run way, do the run up 1700 rpm, check the mags, oil pressure, oil temp, flaps up, all good, do a 360 deg. turn at run up area doing a visual scan of the sky , make the call on the radio "cessna 05H clear on 22N staying in pattern" think thats what he said lol.
Move onto the runway and get lined up, Full power, breaks off, watching airspeed , at 80 knots Ind. rotate and lift off, WOOT were flying. Climb at 500 feet per min. :)
we ended up doing a few touch and goes, then spent maybe 30 minutes just sorta roaming around, we did happen to fly over our school :).
I know I will eventually be able to get my own lic. and fly when ever I want, I trully hope and pray that I never lose the joy of something as simple as doing touch and goes in a 152.
