New to the forum and flying. After postponing it for too many years, finally took the plunge. Here's me on my first flying lesson:

Your age is showing.
I will refrain from commenting on your taste in movies, as I knew exactly what you were talking about.
That movie freaked me out as a kid.

Loved that movie. Saw it when it came on TV the first time. That was Steven Spielberg's directorial debut. That was a seriously tense movie.
Spielberg's first stint in the director's chair (for a movie at least) was for The Sugarland Express. But I agree about Duel being tense! Amazing how the suspense was drawn out for that long.
That was after the first flight. Happy camper there, after drying up the sweaty palms...Is that a before or after pic?
Congrats! Hang in there and git 'er done.
So what did you think? How about a little pirep?
Last I checked, the legal age was 18.
Sugarland Express was his first theatrical movie in '74. Duel was his first full length movie of any kind in '71, which of course was on TV. I should have been more specific when I said first movie. Before that it was TV series shows and shorts.
I also am thoroughly familiar with Casablanca. Doesn't mean I'm 90.Your age is showing.

Fall race last year? If you are headed there in a few weeks send me a PM. Flew in there last year, landed the other direction though on Thursday evening.View attachment 61625
Landing at Talladega Airport for the race.
I believe so. We have either flown or taken the motorcycle. The only way to bet the crowd. Flying it is about an hour away so we flew in the day of the race. When leaving we had to battle all the drivers private jets. They were at the end of runway waiting for IFR clearance. Denny Hamlin's Jet was the first in line. The temp tower asked if I could asked if i could take off from mid runway. I said no problem, so I guess you could say I got the lead coming out of the turn.Fall race last year?
