new story suddently happened to me.

Yesterday i browsed social network and saw photos of very cute girl in the NG4 plane here, in our club. I thougth - WTF, my last flight was mar 23, i can afford some flying! (i invested quite a lot money in soundproofing my room, so i didnt planned to fly for a year or so), but i thougth - WTF, next summer i'll be one year older, LIVE NOW!

So i called club, and they had 30 minutes available. So i booked my flight, arrived, and guys asked - "what will you do? fly touch'n'gos or just hangin in the air?" I didnt studied to fly, what you see in my video - its just a bunch of sharp turns, everybody can do it!
If guys didnt asked me - i could just hang in the area and so on, but they used word "touch and go" in the question.

- WHAT??!! I CAN FLY TOUCH AND GO???!!!!
- Sure! Why just noodling, you know how to turn, - go fly circles on the grass runway! (we have wide grass runway for An-2 and narrow asphalt runway for light planes)

There is one thing about me and airplane,- Im not affraid of flying until im outside the plane on the ground. But when i climbed into the seat, just the idea that i need to fly this metal horrifies me, scares me, and do all creepy thing to me  :o

Instructor asked - if can i takeoff myself
- Nooooooooooo!!!
- Ok, rotate at 95 to 100 km\h, and keep it climbing. (like he didnt saw my huge eyes in that moment)
- Ok, he set takeoff power so no way back, and we off the ground.

He showed me how to perform first circle, i took controls, did 3 turns and turned to final. A bit of the crosswind from the right, some jerking of the stick and i did my first low pass over, well....almost over centerline. Climbed, and no jokes guys, i did my first touch n go!!!

My first touch was....well.....if was first ::) Wings remaind on the airplane, so the gear, we shoot some more circles, and instructor said - ok, now we'll do full stop landing on the narrow asphalt runway.
- Crap, i thought, i'll return the controls to instructor on final.
I was surprised that i didnt. I did the landing, and through all landings, instructor helped me with the flare.

Not bad for the first time i think. I didnt expect that i could have the chance to really fly ::)
Now, latter that day rain started, so i dont know about tommorrow, but if weather will be fine - i'll put my hands on the controls again! Now i gotta learn how to do a normal, safe for everybody landing  :D

Funny thing: Because of CaptainSim 727, i started to fly in simulator. Because of CS 727, i started to buy add ons, not stealing it via torrents. Over two and a half years i invested quite a lot money in planes, scenerys, and all that stuff. I started to buy software and music in general, not only FSX add-ons. No way all that real-world flying could happen without it.  :)
