About Me and My Blog

I am nearly 65 and nearly retired. Still don't know what I am going to be when I grow up. I have three blogs. The first as a student pilot at age 59 (erico49.blogspot.com). I had always wanted to fly, but for one reason or another I had never been able to pull it off. The second documents my experience with the Topsy Turvy updside down planter that was advertised on TV (erico492.blogspot.com). And my current project--a redwood slab (redwoodart.blogspot.com).

Milestone?

We did pattern work in at KBOI yesterday. I pulled off the first landing where my CFI said "excellent." I also pulled off my first landing where he neither touched the controls nor said a word. He just sat there. No, it wasn't the one he called "excellent." He assured me that the first without coaching is a milestone... that I proved that I have the skills and abilities to be a pilot. I have a feeling that he overstated its importance to build my confidence, but I am taking it! Next milestone, solo. Then written test, solo cross country, solo night cross country, and check ride. Time to hit the books again and get ready for the written.
