Well I no longer fly done on Long Island. I'm back in my home state of Vermont. KBTV is my new home and right now I'm in a 172G made in 1966. I was used to Lycoming engines and this has a Continental, but a plane is a plane, and it still flies. :)
Yesterday we started out around noon and the plan was for me to solo after doing a couple landings with my instructor. Well there was a lot of mechanical turbulance, had to go around twice and ended up doing 7 landings before I was sent out to the practice area solo.
The wind calmed done later in the evening so I got to go enjoy the sunset and the mountains for a .6 of solo. I got in slow flight, power off stall, steep turns, and also 5 landings. Pretty good for $78!
I plan on writing more often and putting up some pictures from my flights. Should be starting cross countries soon, I can't wait to go somewhere.
