She’s a fun little plane isn’t she? I bet it inspires your love for GA now. Wait til your first solo that’s a rush! Then your solo cross country. Landing at an un firmilar airport, is a bit nerve wracking at first. Never be afraid of the go around that’s for sure.

I’m amazed at how smoothly the Cessna can land, and how quickly it slows down! It must have been awesome to see the Rex Saab and QantasLink Q400 up close.
