Fly Like A Bird
Below is a guest entry, submitted by Val.
There is a new adventure in town. I recently took my first intro flight lesson in a light sport aircraft (also known as an Ultra Light or Powered Hang Glider) with Sport Aviation Center in Carson City. It was a blast! We flew high over Tahoe, low over Washoe Lake and I didn’t even have to run and jump off a mountain! I really liked that part since I have a bad back.
My flight instuctor, Samantha Moore, was very knowledable. After our smooth take off, she explained how the controls worked and let me take control of the aircraft. At the end of our flight, she smoothly and safely landed the plane and summarized the lesson. I learned that these aircraft are designed just for the fun and sport of flying. I might even think about becoming a sport pilot, with future lessons.
