August 01 Out in ManitobaYesterday brother Matt took me for a "crash course in aviation (no pun, no pun at all!) He told me to taxi to the end of the runway and instructed me how to take off ( a little nervous). I flew up to 4200 ft turning south for a while and the back north. Matt told me how to maneuver a 45 degree turn, about the trim, and some of the instruments. Then he started talking like I was going to land the plane (really nervous) and I handed control back to him.
At this point he hands me a little white bag (which i almost needed), and proceeds stall the little plane causing so much negitive G's the pencil that was forgotten on the floor floated up past my head. After ten minutes of stalls 90 degree turns and spins (those are fun), Matt says to me "well I would have been pukeing my brains out by now if it was my first time." (Nice!)
Back on the ground (glad) other than feeling a little pale./.:.\. |
