“I thought I would be nervous, but once I got the engine started, flying the airplane became second nature. Learning to fly is a constant learning process but I am lucky and grateful to have found an instructor who understands the importance of flying by feel. Thanks, Thao, I would not have made it this far without your patience and energy.” ~ Gordon
