I was supposed to fly tomorrow morning, January 30, 2018.  But the winds are supposed to be treacherous.  So, I was very happy to hear that someone cancelled their flight lesson this afternoon.  I took advantage of that cancellation;  I got to go for a flying lesson at 5:00 PM.

This evening I’m practicing takeoffs and landings.  Roger always attempts to teach me new things but sometimes I have to be in the right place to hear everything.  SO, tonight he had to help me break a bad habit I developed:  not holding back on the yoke as I’m landing.  I would pull it back, then not follow through.  Ahhhhh!  It is so much nicer landing when you do it!
