Introductory Lesson

Took my first hour of flight training on 2/10/2010. I had the pleasure of flying Cessna 172 N5200H out of the Forest Lake airport for an hour with CFI Jim Schulze. I got to fly the plane for about half of the lesson time. I practiced 30 degree turns, climbs, descents, flying at different speeds while maintaining altitude..., flying with different flap configurations, and I got to guide it in for the landing. What a rush of freedom! I got to take some aerial photos of my house from around 2000 feet (about 1000 feet AGL). Here are some pics:
