Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: A starting point - first flight

Hi Alan,

Congrats on the first flight.  I'm  sure it was exhilarating. Only to be soon eclipsed on your journey by your solo and check ride.  Glad to hear more Sky Catcher pilots checking in.

Fly safely and often.

After some ground instruction, and preflight check of the Cessna 162 SkyCatcher, we were taxiing to the runway. A quick jog off the taxiway into the run-up area, then we were heading down the runway - AND WE WERE OFF!!!
