From Stall To Stall

摘要

As for so many pilots, it all started for me in a C-150. My very first flight in the small Cessna trainer was one I've never forgotten. In an extreme climb, my pilot friend took me high up, ending the climb with a stall. "That is what happens when you force an aircraft to stop flying," he said after he took the aircraft out of its misery to head back to the airfield. I was immediately hooked on flying, with or without the aerobatics. I never progressed further into flying than obtaining a private pilot license for having fun in VMC conditions. I enjoyed the little Cessna 150 very much, but when my kids asked to come along with daddy for the hamburger flight, we ended up doing this in a most beautiful airplane called the TB-9 Tampico. This was one of the Caribbean models built in the south of France by Socata (now Daher).
