Flying into Eppley

Hello fellow aviators! I can’t thank each and every one of you enough. The support on my last post was overwhelming and I am so thankful to be in such a supportive environment. I am currently three weeks in to flight training and I’m still having so much fun. Last flight we flew into Eppley from council bluffs and worked on touch and go’s. In total we did eight touch and go’s. A lot of practice but also a lot of progress. It was also fun but scary to do pattern work in a controlled airport, but contacting approach is a whole other story. I was really nervous to fly into such a big airport but luckily it wasn’t too busy so I had no problem at all. I’ve attached below a photo of my flight instructor, Leighton Kaluza, holding the ground effect and then climbing out with a steep angle of attack. Again, thank you guys so much for the comments on the last post and I will update all of you on my next flight. Hopefully next flight I can land a squeaker!
