WHY THIS BLOG

I am 55 years old and have been slowly working toward my PPL for the last 20 months. I purchased a Cessna 150 and have developed such a close relationship with this airplane. I am making final preparations to take my written exam and am just a week or two from finally doing my first solo (just about have my landings consistent, i.e. safe) My wife, Julie has also started lessons. We simply thought this blog would be a great way to document our progress and maybe allow us to be a bit more accountable with our learning curve and experiences. Our instructor is our oldest son! It has been a marvelous experience.

What has happened to 57Foxtrot!!!!!

It has been awhile since I began putting this BLOG together.  I continue to fly excepting the past 3 weeks due to the airplane having it's annual.  Our A &P Mechanic discovered so many things have been overlooked for several years that much work must be done on the rudder attachments, flaps, under the hood... and so forth.  It is now being put back together.  57Foxtrot has had a very comeplete inspection and repair work so that we may fly with confidance.  I am still working toward my solo and getting very close to taking the written exam.  Pictures will soon follow.
