Had my second flight lesson today from Knoxville Flight Training Center.  As with my first experience, the flight crew there is top notch, very friendly and know what they are doing.  We took up an old 1977 172 SkyHawk.  We took off from DKX, landed at GKT then after a few turns and basic plane handling/feel training headed back for a landing on runway 26 of DKX.  Most exciting part was finding out AFTER the lesson that my instructor wasn’t even assisting but just laying his hands on the yoke!!  He knows I have  several hundred simulated flight hours, but he has more confidence in my flying than I do I think , either way, we didn’t die, or even hit hard, no bounces and even had a slight tailwind in the final approach, although I could have hit the runway center-line a bit better.  For a second flight hour and 3rd landing, I suppose I’m already farther than most, I can’t say either way, anyone with any comments, experiences etc., for flight schools or flight in general are welcome to comment.  I am currently looking for financing if anyone has experience or advice in that area for flight training.

Enjoy the photos, working out the bugs, but hope to have thumbs here with full size on click, that probably won’t work out the way I want it yet though, I only have limited time to work on this blog right now with the kid and the girl to manage, plus finals to help her with this weekend. Hurray for Contract Law….
