Acrobatics!?*$# !!!!

Well, it's been quite an adventure. I've been busy with my friend Rob, let me give you a quick breakdown.

9/21/08

We left out in the 150, and headed over to mesquite. He told me we were going to practice acrobatics, and that there would be a lot of neat planes there, but I wasn't quite sure what that meant. When we got to Mesquite, we got in a piper arrow. It was a neat plane, i didn't think a whole lot about it because i have been in lots of planes. We did some landings, 5 to be exact. Then we got some sleep.

9/22/08

We went back to mesquite (we actually stayed the night there) and this tine I got to do some more tail dragger time, i liked that, it is still new to me, but i really like it. we did 4 landings. Then we headed back to Palestine in the 150. I'm not to keen on those overnight trips, but the flying in between sure is fun. It was nice to be home.

Then on 10/2/08 We went back to mesquite. This time we drove in the car over to Mesquite, we did some more flying and landing, just getting good practice in.

10/6/08

This is when it got interesting, this is when I actually got to start doing acrobatics. We went up and di some loops, rolls, accelerated stalls and other misc manuevers. Wow, good thing there were sic sacs available, luckily I didn't need them, but next time, I think I am going to not eat before we do that. It was a neat experience, I didn't know airplanes could do all that neat stuff.

We did even more acrobatics this day. Barrell Rolls, Splits, Cuban 8, Heck, I don't even know what all those things are, i just know that airplane was turning all sorts of different directions. It was tons of fun.
