flying in chicago

Lesson one in a 172 was amazing. I have lots to write and talk about, but I wanted to share the Google Earth snapshot of the track I covered. The red jumble in the lower right is Chicago Executive (KPWK) airport. We headed out to the northwest and practiced trimming the plane, turns in both directions and around a point, and both ascending and descending. Then, of course, CFI Forrest took us in for the landing.

If you have Google Earth installed, you can load the entire KMZ of my trip. There is some car time as well as flying, so the stuff in the southeastern bits of the map, east of the forest preserve belt, is my commute.
