Always fun! I had a great instructor who always made it fun. He always would come up with funny lines to make me relax when he could tell I was getting stressed and back to fun. One thing he did if you were learning in a 4 place plane that could carry 4 average adults is take your significant other on your first night flight. Being in south jersey Cape May is a close night flight. He brought his wife and I brought my wife. We flew to Cape May and went to a late dinner and flew back. He also commerates the event by giving his students a hat with LED lights on the brim. Every flight ended with a smile.
