yay flying!

Yesterday was an excellent day for flying. I got two flights of nearly one hour each back to back. We practiced a lot of the basics like thermaling, turns, and airspeed changes. I did most of the first landing and all of the second by myself. :) I do have to work on the tow though. It's stressful and takes a lot of concentration to stay in the right place behind the tow plane.

I now have 3.7 hours in five flights. Flying is a great way to spend a hot summer weekend, because it's nice and cool at 6000 feet under the clouds!

Interesting, my instructor mentioned that some (unspecified) other countries required flying in low tow. Why is that? I don't imagine that you release low, too.
