🛩️Yea so I flew this today.
first complaint: we need cute logbooks. black is boring, pink is not even pink, it's salmon.
I've wanted to fly since I was a child.
And it happened today... I flew a plane today. I'm still actually processing that.
Going to try and get out there again this coming Saturday. Weather doesn't look good right now but it's only Monday.
So the challenges in this are already showing themselves. I'm likely going to have a VERY difficult time getting a medical clearance due to the FAA's stance on certain medications.
Not impossible, but it's going to take a VERY long time and require a LOT of extra work.
While disheartening, it's just yet another problem to solve, and it *does* so far seem solvable. Just at great expense of time and $$.
In case you're interested in the challenge ahead I face.
FAA isn't a fan of ADHD. Definitely won't let you get a medical cert if taking medication for it.

If I ever have the opportunity to have a custom tail number for an aircraft, you KNOW it has to be some variation of N1337_, the _ being whatever final alphabetical char is available.
Of course the sun is gonna be out while I'm away, lol. What a punk.
I need to be in the air again. And the weather is not behaving.
Welcome to General Aviation 😜
I'm getting the vibe that aviation tend to track farily conservative based on some of the ads youtube has decided I should see, videos I'm being recommended, and comments I see.
If the weather behaves, I'll be flying again on Saturday.
Also, I found a pink logbook.
If u asked me to describe what flying a small plane is like, I'd say it's a combination of a motorcycle/ATV and a boat at 4000 ft in the air
On the ground things get very fast very quickly. There's a certain Mount of instability on the ground hence motorcycle/atv.
Also if you didn't know, you steer a plane on the ground with your feet, not the control yoke. Rudder pedals and brakes. It's not a car.
In the air it's bumpy and floaty and feels like you're in a boat on the water. You have control, but sometimes a wave knocks you around a little bit, so u need to get your sea legs except in the air.
Oh another random tidbit:
Flying is physical. Today I'm *sore* in my back and legs like I went to the gym.
This isn't like hopping in the car for a Sunday drive stuff. It's closer to a sport than a cruise in my newly initiated opinion.
Happy Saturday lovelies. Welcome to 4000ft.
Going back up tomorrow and we're doing stalls and slow flight.
Choppy day today, but super fun. We did slow flight and stalls. At one point we had our ground speed down to 16mph with an airspeed of 65.
It was a nice clear day, a little hazy at altitude, but nice none the less.
Femme Malheureuse@heckinteagan Congrats!! This must have been exciting!
@femme_mal It was absolutely incredible. Just, beautiful. We flew thru a little snow. You could see the snow falling from the clouds all around the area. The smoke stacks in Lansing were visible.
There were pockets of sunlight shining thru the clouds, and fields were dusted white. Frozen ponds, and the occasional thermal would carry us up. We got up to around 4000 ft today.
Just beautiful.
@heckinteagan I'm so glad for you and yet laughing at the same time about finding Lansing so exciting. Perhaps that's what it takes - seeing it from the air more often, and under one's own wings even better.
@femme_mal you could say it gives one a new perspective :p lol.
