My First Flight Lesson!!!

Hello All!

As I am writing this, I have just finished my first flight lesson with Jon Still at Still Flying LLC. It’s so good to finally get the ball rolling on flight training, and I feel that my first lesson went very well! We did some pattern work, several takeoffs and landings, as well as getting me familiarized with the area the airport is located in. I learned more about how the Bristell 912 ULS handles and operates, and it is a truly wonderful airplane. The Bristell air frame and the Rotax 912 ULS really go quite well together to make an awesome combo. It was awesome that I was able to take off and land during my first lesson as well! (with some help, especially the first couple times) I still certainly have some work to do as far as that goes, but I feel like I was doing better with each time that I did it.

Here’s a few pics of me and the Bristell 912 ULS post-flight, as well as a diagram of the airport where I’m training!

  1. That’s amazing! Hearing about your first lesson is exhilarating. I didn’t know you could actually take off & land on your first lesson! Maybe you had previous experience or something, I’m not sure, I haven’t had any training yet. That’s really cool though! I’m excited to hear more from you.

  2. Congrats on your first flight!! Super exciting. Continue to learn, and continue to share how your journey is going!!

  3. congrats on your first flight Jake! I can tell you have a strong passion for aviation! It’s great to hear you are on your way!!

  4. Congratulations on your first flight!! My favorite experience is taking off every single time. It is a rush!

  5. You’re on your way Jake! Keep taking and sharing pictures and savor every minute. I still ‘see’ scenes from my initial flight training thirty-two years ago in my mind and wish we’d had the phone cameras then ;-))
