'There's a Tomahawk at Goodwood' ... and there it should stay ... on the ground! Only kidding

When I set about trying to gain my PPL in USA (hmmm) I started flying the C-152 but hated how twitchy it was. I struggled to land it, but not sure if that was due to poor instruction. I still hadn't gone solo at 20 hours

. I changed to the PA-28 (Cadet) and within 4 hours (2 flights) i'd gone solo. I said that i'd never fly the 152 again.

A few years ago (due to cost mainly) I decided to try flying the 152 again. Ive flown it ever since! Not flown since Feb 2013 (due to having a baby and studying for my ATPL ), but am looking forward to getting back in the saddle in summer ... in a 152
