Well, here we go. Post #1. I'm here now in Peachtree City and its been a pretty good first day. 'Indoc' day as its known at the school - a lot of paperwork, a lot of meeting new people, and a whole lot of confusion. First flight went fine - Atlanta smog makes the view nonexistent but I just didn't care today - I was home in the air. There were a lot of maneuvers we did in the Diamond that would have been challenging even if I were already familiar with a stick and rudder - so add that new dimension and it was especially uncomfortable. Slow flight, constant rate turns, and all the other boring review stuff - all in a new cockpit and a new beehive airspace. But I have to say - it all started to come back quickly and the new feel of the stick began to feel a little more natural by the end. All three landing were nice - center stripe with plenty of runway to go. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow. Alright, now on to the more interesting stuff - my barn. Its great. Here are a few pics of my new palace:
The Grand Entrance
Mine is the first stall on the left
Some of my roommates
My Living room, my dining room, my bedroom, my bathroom, my closet, and my office.
. . . and my new backyard.
All in all, this is going to be pretty okay. I found the airport, I found WalMart, and I FINALLY found free high speed internet! Now if I can just find something to clear up the symptoms of homesickness. I'll work on that tomorrow.
