I had a blast today. The winds were gusting a little bit but luckily, they were heading straight down the runway. That was a relief. Finally I got to go flying after almost 3 months sitting on the ground. Today worked a little different than most days.

United Airlines hosted a career day with Southern Illinois University to promote the industry and more specifically the university’s aviation programs. It was a great event to learn about college level aviation programs as well as talk to some of the pilots in the industry. Today’s long day started with an early wake up of 4:30.
My fifth lesson brought with it my fifth hour. It was an awesome lesson. I was a little out of it though because I hadn’t flown in about 7 months. However, I pulled it together and ended up doing some awesome things.
I arrived at the airport around 9:50 for my 10:00 lesson. Jim came up and introduced himself to my mother and I. We confirmed some details and took a look at my log book. After my mother left, we ventured downstairs to begin the ground portion of the lesson. On the way down I saw a sign that read “New lower prices: Warrior $99.00/hr Basic Instructor: $40.00/hr”. I very much enjoyed seeing that.
Well here I am sitting at my aunt’s house, typing this entry. My plane should have left four hours ago (but more on that later).So anyway, let’s start from the beginning.
As I mentioned yesterday I had quite a bit of studying to do last night. The lights finally went out at 2:00 this morning. I got most of the reading done with the exception of the chapter on radio work. With four hours of sleep, freshman football was quite a drag. As soon as it was over I rushed to our minivan to get home. After a quick shower and review of what we were to do this lesson, We headed to the airport.
