First flying lesson

What a hoot! Big grin time. I can't get over the fact that you just get in, turn the engine on and fly. Don't have to hang around all day waiting for a cable or aerotow, don't need thermals to stay up. And then when you land, you just book out and have a brew. Then go home. I shall be back for more of this on Wednesday. I like it.

You missed the handing over of a big wad of money, which comes somewhere between landing, having a brew and going home.

Tosh, it's only loot, if you run out the banks have got tons of it.

Actually I saved up 8 big ones which is just for learning to fly and nothing else so I can learn with gay abandon. It doesn't feel like I'm spending my own money (I can convince myself of anything). I didn't want to go the route of an hour there and an hour here and taking forever, I wanted to fly as often as possible while learning. Job done.
