After eight long weeks of not flying, I feel ecstatic to be back in air and doing what I love most. I did not have a chance to fly this summer since I was at camp for seven weeks and after that I was on a seven day cruise to Alaska. Though it was lot of fun to be on the water for seven days straight, I would much rather be in the air instead. After a summer full of memories and fun, I had my first flight back on September 5th, where we reviewed everything I had done till the moment we had to pause my training. Due to a successful review flight, my instructor decided that he was confident enough to send me solo once again, and I was on a solo flight the next day. Though I knew that flying solo is thrilling every single time, I did not regain the full memory until I was at 2000 feet all by myself. Being a senior in high school this year, I am extremely busy due to many academics courses and music ensembles. Though I fly five times a week on top of my other schedule, flying is my therapy to life, helps me get back on track with academics and daily life. All in all I am excited to be back where my heart belongs– 2000 feet in the air.

Bravo! Love it!
The way you express your love of being in the air really makes me smile–it’s so obvious that you love it. And to think that, after a summer of being away, you were ready to go again right away shows how well you’re doing with it. Thanks for keeping us all informed on your progress!!
Thank you for all your support!
Very cool, it says a lot that your CFI was ready to send you on your own right away!!
It’s a great feeling, and, as you say, it takes your mind off everything else. (First things first, you know — and there’s nothing more important than flying the airplane when you’re in the left seat!)
Keep us posted, and fly on!
Super excited for you. You have had a jammed packed summer. You are an inspiration to other future pilot/musicians.
