I was in the traffic pattern, downwind for the active. I had only like 4hours in my log book.
My instructor said, "If I pulled the power now what would you do?"
Not thinking, I looked off to my left, found a good field and said, "Goin' over there."
"Cessna XXXXX short final runway XXX" my instructor said to the tower. He turned to me and said, "What's wrong with this spot right there"
I looked over and there was the airport right next to us..."Ohhh.."
Wow did I feel stupid, the runway was only off to my right a half a mile away yet I started desecending to a damn field with rocks in it.
