The New Guy

I got my new CFI today. Hell, he's only 27. The Senior CFI has fully briefed him on everything about me, where I'm at in my lessons, etc. We head out to do some touch and goes for a while. Have I mentioned I haven't been in an airplane in two weeks? Trust me, it shows in my landings. They are more like arrivals. Hell I would have made a killer carrier pilot in World War II with the way I was dropping the plane out of the air. they finally start to come back and things are looking ok, except for drifting off on the centerline some. To remedy this, we go out to a little runway in Abernathy. Pretty soon, I was holding the centerline and we went back to the big airport. a couple of lessons later, Josh said I'm going to solo my next lesson if the wind holds. Needless to say, the wind stayed up for about two weeks, so we were stuck going to the practice area when we could go up. Now I'm just playing a waiting game.
