Discovery Flight

While I was waiting in the terminal for the bus home, I wrote a list of things to make sure I put in my post for later, in roughly chronological order. I am now ready to start from the top of the list and go through today in fairly, but not completely, detailed fashion. For your convenience, I'll use several LJ cuts during this process.

( Today was not originally going to be the day I flew. )

( The commute... )

( So I arrived... )

( Then I met Mark, my flight instructor, and we talked about things educational and financial. )

( It was time to go outside and see the plane! )

( Inside the plane, on the ground. )

( Take-off! )

( Flying around the practice area. )

( Then we had to land. :( )

( We discussed jobs; I almost forgot to pay. )

( The bothersome airport bathroom. )

( The cute Asian lady running the airport cafe; waiting for the bus and going home. )

So that was the Discovery Flight. The most odd part about all of it is how NON-surreal it seems. "I went out and flew an airplane today." This is how it should be, yes?
