Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I didn’t know what I didn’t know about flying prior to starting. Even though I’m still as such a basic level, I can not believe how complicated flying is. All the things to be keeping in check, etc. I can’t believe that FO’s at regionals a few years back were only making 25k-28k per year starting off, given the training, skill and responsibility they have. I mean you could make that working at a fast food joint.

What really blows my mind is thinking about some young kids in WW1 learning to fly and then going off to war when man kind was still in infancy with aircrafts. Also, a young man training in WW2 to go off and fly in the pacific or Europe. Pretty unbelievable.

But I guess like with anything, practice will make you better. I am flying 3-4 days per week to try and not have too many gaps between flying.

Today was steep turns. My right hand steep turns were fairly decent for a noobie. I struggled to maintain altitude in my left hand steep turns. I was not using enough back pressure.
