Flight Lesson 11-04-09

It was a Beautiful Day for Flying in the Skys over LBX today. Meaning I got to solo once more today.

After I hopped in my CFI's Car we drove down to the Hangar, we came upon one of the best looking Aircraft ever made. A P51D Mustang, named "Double Trouble II." While Sticking the tanks I heard the P51's Rolls Royce Merlin fire up. So I jumped down from the ladder and ran to the Hangar Door to watch the P51 taxi off. Much to my surprise rather than taking the nearest turn to the Taxi Way, he taxied right by me! So after he Took off I went back and finished up the preflight of the C152. We got in the Plane, Taxied to Three Five for the run up and took off to enjoy the great weather we had today. On rotation it felt as if the plane jumped in to the air as the plane climbed fast in the cool Autumn air. I made a fare landing (Slight Side load due to not correcting enough for the right hand Cross Wind). My CFI then said, "Ok, Exit the runway and I'll let you solo for a while."

I made four good landings solo and then put the plane up as one Heli, and two Planes (a CAP Cessna 172, and a Piper PA-28.) were down at Three Five waiting to take off.

I logged one hour of PIC time today, and I have 29.9 Total Hours logged now.

At the start of next month I'll start flying the C172, but due to lack of funds next week will be my last regularly scheduled lesson. :(
