[strake]

..in a Robin HR100/200 at Sywell on May 24 1983 with Paul Smith

and yours......?

[Knight Paladin]

Good for you.

[WildDart]

Ohh, may as well add mine, first lesson in my log book

C152 - 24th March 2006 1 hour at Manston.

Now i have 52 hours :\

[strake]

I think any pilot, private, commercial or military would be happy to reminisce remembering how it all started for them...
Perhaps those who have something to hide such as "Waltish" tendencies would not.....

[davidatter708]

Not in my log book but my first was in a yak 18t at about 12 on a young eagles day at our aeroclub now i have about 50 hrs logged as p1
and 25 as passenger

[S-Works]

sorry and the point of this is? Or it was started in response to what?
And no, I have nothing to hide.....

[strake]

Oh come on, don't be so sniffy Bose...just a bit of fun...:)

[S-Works]

oh I see. Just wondering!

[strake]

Bosey, your profile says you have "loads" of licences, you are current on three aircraft and you are a "Brit Smoothie"....
Go on, tell us about your first lesson.....

[Knight Paladin]

For the second time in as many minutes, I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly agreeing with bose, really don't 'get' this thread... although will now shut up and back off for the benefit of people who do, for some strange reason, find this interesting.

[strake]

Another holier than thou policeman....if you're not interested then push off somewhere else....
Or, alternatively, answer the question...simple really....

[Tim Dawson]

There was a question?

[Fuji Abound]

So what was the answer?

[Knight Paladin]

........42

Now there is an aircraft .. .. ..

[Final 3 Greens]

My first 'lesson' was in a Beech Baron in about 1980, as the only revenue pax, sitting in the RHS.

A/P was bust, so when el capitino (complete with huge shades, this was a latino country) needed to consult a chart or plate, he gave me the following lesson....

EC "can you fly a plane?"

F3G "no"

EC "can you drive a car?"

F3G "yes"

EC "please hold the steering wheel, don't make any big movements and just keep going towards the big mountain in the distance"

Result - totally hooked, started gliding and then went on to PPL.

[Cumulogranite]

In for a penny....

My first lesson was from MSF at Manchester, on the southside in the old days. Sometime in 1991/2 in a traumahawk G-BGRR with Gary Robinson.

NEXT !!!!

Roll on solo, solo XC, license issue and £200 bacon sarnies.

[Shunter]

Had my first lesson in a Cessna taildragger in New Zealand, flying over the southern alps, Christmas 2002 :)

Then did nothing until Jan 2006, passed PPL in May 2006, now got 140hrs and loving it!

[Mad Girl]

P.S. MG, I just knew you would have started out the wrong way up :}

Depends on your perspective....:p

And lessons 2 - 4 were the same.... :D
