I remember one of my first flying lessons.
I showed up, and saw other students leaving, I spoke with my instructor (an Aussie) who said “It’s a bit too windy, but it’s your call”.
Having no fear of a “little” wind, I laughed at the other students and proceeded to prepare the plane…
If you’ve ever wanted to know what it would be like to be inside a washing machine, this is what I recommend you try.
There’s nothing quite like trying to land a plane on a 45 degree approach angle whilst you are bouncing 300M +/- in elevation.
(A lesson for any non flyers. The Propeller keeps you in the air, but is not necessarily indicative of the direction you are actually going.) It was like trying to slide a car sideways into a straight forward parking stall, but correcting the wheels at the last second.
P.S.
And did you know the school charges you if they have to replace ALL of the barf bags?
