one-proud-aussie Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 yes, the thrill of flying, i remember my first lesson, instructor goes "here you go kane, take the stick and have a fly, have a play around with the stick and get a feel of the plane" that moment will never be forgotten! it was amazing! my first lesson was also in a J-160, where bouts did you do your lesson?

one-proud-aussie Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 JUST DO IT! haha, i flew a few lessons then stopped for 2 years, and i complained every day for 2 years, then my mate said to me "JUST DO IT KANE!" so that night i rang up and booked in and not one regret! the more u put it off the more annoying it seems.
