The first flight feeling is amazing, isn't it? I took my first flight in Nov. of 2007 out of KVNY in a Cessna 172 (with the Garmin G1000 system, which was intensely cool!) My parents bought me a free beginner's lesson where I had half an hour of ground briefing and half an hour of the instructor letting me maneuver the airplane, and perform the take-off and landing!
It was an immense feeling, one I won't soon forget. It was much different from being on a jetliner, because you could feel every little bump and jolt that comes with a single engine passenger plane, you feel much more connected with the air around you than you do anytime else. Congratulations on your first flight, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I'm saving up for lessons, and I hope to have enough to start in late June
