For my birthday, I took a flight lesson. Here's a picture;
I logged an hour of flight time on this! I was at the controls 95% of the time. I took off, maneuvered, stalled the thing, did 60 degree turns (it wasn't rated for a barrel roll, sadly) bumped my head on the canopy descending super fast and even lined it up for the landing. (I didn't get to land it, heh)
Tiny Diamond DA20-C1 2-seater, lighter than my car, just about as bumpy but _it goes up into the sky_ : D
As expected, I've signed up for flight lessons (for a Private license) and ground school, which I'm going to take just as quickly as I can. It's not cheap, but for my money, none of my other hobbies made me this happy.
