So today was the big day for Zed. In the morning he had a test that he had to pass to continue on with training. He passed with room to spare.
His first flight took place 1230 mountain time. With it being his first time flying a plane the instructor was impressed at how natural it came to him. Zed said there were times that it was overwhelming, but tonight he studied for 4hrs and feels ready to go back up again. The flight lasted about an hour and twenty minutes and he was able to watch his instructor do things and also accomplish things on his own. There were times when the instructor had to ask Zed to level out the plane because he (the instructor) was getting air sick. Zed thankfully had no problems with that.
His next flight is at 1200 mountain time tomorrow. It will be the same flight he took today, he'll just be doing all/the majority of the flying this time.
Though not officially a pilot yet, he is one step closer to sewing the wings on his uniform.
