What did you notice most during your very first experience travelling in any
type of airplane, as passenger or pilot? And if you are a pilot, what did you
notice most during your very first experience actually flying an airplane (if
it was not also your very first experience with flight)?

I was shocked I didn't smoke during my first solo.


For me it was the ground ahead in the windshield going round, and
round, and round, and finally the instructor asked what I was going to
do. Me? Do? Yah. Haven't the foggiest idea, this is the first time
I've ever been in a plane. He got busy right away as the rows of corn
stalks were getting big enough to see the individual stalks. Guess he
though I'd flown before. (That was a very long time ago)


But after was another story
