First flight today

well my 3rd day of flight school was today after school. Got to fly the plane today around some mountains and arounds some towns. Im hoping to become an airline pilot by my mid 20s.

But flying actually turned out to be really easy and fun. At first it looks hard with all of the guages and buttons around you but you figure them all out in the first hour. Didnt land the plane today but should probably monday on my next flight.

Spin training is fun, circuits arnt that bad ether, sounds like your probably on straight and level / climbs if this is your 3rd flight.

Where you flying out of?

I've always wanted to learn too, but I'm always afraid of that ONE time where you get stuck in shitty weather conditions, or god forbid near zero visibility, and end up killing yourself (JFK Jr.).

Once you get enough hours to get your CFI and have about 300 hours under your belt, get your *** to a Cessna 182 dropzone and become a diver-driver flying skydiving loads. The pay is almost non-existent, but we had one of our guys get 1000 hours in a year, move up to turbines (Super-Otter, Cessna Caravan) and he's a captain for Continental right now flying a smaller regional jet.
