Glenn, I remember my very first lesson very well. the instructor scared the
bajeezers out of me. we were on our way back to the airport and about 3000'
too high with about a 15knot wind. As we got closer he kept telling me what
to do but apparently I wasn't doing them correctly, and instead of showing
me how to do it, he yanked the yoke from me and slammed us on the ground,
all the while never uttering a word to me. needless to say, I never went
back to him. four years in the US Air Force flying around in the back of
C130's and HH3's and never once experienced a flight that SCARED me.

BTW. I have finally started flight training. I had no idea how many
mistakes I could make all in one sitting..until now! Did anybody else
get that "Dear in the Headlights" feeling their first time up?
