flying lesson two - bad weather

Went for flying lesson 2 this morning and clouds kept us from flying so instead we spent time on how to read charts and then did some low speed taxiing. If you were watching from the area, I would have been the Cessna going a little left, then right, then left, ... I suspect it looked like a drunk was on the pedals. Keeping the thing on the line is tougher than it looks.

first flying lesson done

Took my first official flying lesson today. If you live in the area and happened to look up you would have seen a Cessna 172r zooming here and there and up and down (although not entirely in the directions the instructor intended) but close enough for day one.
