So far I've only done 3 hours of dual flying and I seem to be taking to it quite quickly. I've flown casually with friends in the past and I used to fly paragliders and model aircraft so it's been a passion of mine for some time. I'm also a huge flight simulator geek!

So far I've worked my way through some of the manoeuvres (just done stalling in the last lesson and I have to do another hour of stalling before my first solo apparently). I also did a few touch and go circuits to practice my landings in my last lesson.

I've been lucky enough to acquire a full set of Oxford Aviation Academy DVDs which I'm studying religiously! They are very good and I'd highly recommend them!

Here is a video from my last lesson (yesterday!) for anyone who is interested. It's been great so far and I'm right at the beginning of my journey... very exciting!
