my whole flight training timeline (part 1)

Published 2023-11-02
my diary entry tuesday oct 21st 2014:
Simulators. A helicopter and plane one. I was like 5th on the helicopter one, I never got to try the plane one. I waited that long because I didn't want to suck, so I waited and watched the other dudes go. I did really good in the beginning, but once in the air I forgot that the stick (what's it called again?) is forward to bring the nose down and back to bring the nose up. If I hadn't forgotten that I think I would haveย done splendidly. But, as it was, I forgot and then the CFI (James) told me to try turning to the left and I went loopity. He said he was getting dizzy.ย

    Hey Abbie!ย  Thanks for sharing because, as you said, representation is important!! Back in 2019, your "first solo" video randomly popped up on my feed and curiosity got the best of me. I was instantly mesmerized and amazed to see someone who "looked like me" (a younger female) flying an airplane! Started training soon afterwards. Nowadays, I'm a part 135 medevac pilot and still flight instruct on the side for fun. You've played an impactful role in that, so thank you! Keep it up!!

    "Auntie Abbie honesty" is the absolute best! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Loved the video and looking forward to Part 2. Also, thank you for sharing your journey with others and being part of that representation that is so sorely lacking in aviation. You're helping way more people than you realize!
  • Great video! Heading to flight school in 2 months. Excited, scared, nervous and confident all at the same time ๐Ÿ˜‚
