I started my training in winter and it all went fine till I went to
Arizona
in April and got my first taste of thermal turbulence.

I learnt in Florida. Similar I guess. Fun when trying to fly accurately
under the hood, keeping an exact altitude and heading.

now flying even
through some serious shaking is like wrestling with an old buddy, more
like
a fun challenge.

Mmm, I thought that until I did a formation flying course last
weekend! Turbulence takes on a whole new meaning when
you're trying to hold 10ft from another plane.

I say you'll get used to it too, it's just human nature to
get defensive when the body position in space is upset, and the only way
to
overcome it is with training and time.

I need more formation training!
