    taxing back to the school

    was in the air for about 45 minutes, I had control for all but about 3 minutes. I took off, and flew around, my instructor took control to avoid a bit of traffic, which I spotted, he also did a 50degree bank to show me what the plane could do, and he wouldn't let me land.. but I did most of the descent only giving up control like 25 feet out or so

    35 hours to get my private, another 21 for my instrument rating, 16 more to get my commercial, need to become an instructor to build hours... thats 13, need to get my multi-engine that's 20, then I need at least 1000 hours to be qualified for jet school, and that's like 50 hours... by the way, I have 1 hour total flight time .7 in a plane and .3 in an FAA approved simulator
