Forty-seven years in the waiting. Let this mark the first notch in my mid-life crisis belt.

    There’s a baggie on the plane in case you get sick :) No worries!

    I just went on my first real flight last November from California to New York. Talk about scary. I could not imagine being in the pilot seat. Very brave!

    You’re taking flying lessons? Nancy, that’s fantastic!!! It’s funny, but I’ve been getting a bit itchy to do/try something new. (No guts for the sky though-LOL!)

    I am kinda jealous, I am so scared of flying, but I just love airplanes, even have a flight simulator on my pc that is quite close to the real thing, except for the turbulence and air pockets and of course the nervous, tight tummy. :)
    From what I can see of the plane it is a Cessna, not sure what model…?

    All I can say is, best wishes, and in a way I wish I could do it, but then, down here in our country flying lessens are extremely expensive, something like R60 000-00 for a PPL. (maybe a good thing)

    Have fun, take and post lots of pics.

    Please visit back, I’d love to know how your lessons are going.

    It was a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Very fun!!! Tomorrow I get to be a passenger in a G5 :)

    The flight simulator must be so fun to have. A friend of mine just purchased one…maybe I’ll get to play on it!

    Thank you for your kind wishes!
