helicopter pilots are far superior...

how plank flyers even dare to wear wings is beyond me, i took a couple of hours in a C172 for fun and to practice some instrument approaches. Man they are so easy, they just kind of trundle along all on their own, i guess they have to, as the pilot can see next to naf all, what with all the dash-board and wing in the way.

The landings are no problem, although i will say the first was a little hard but the rest were smooth as you like...

We had to take along the CFIs dog, i wasn't sure why but every time he touched a control it gave him a good bite...
