The Best Sunday afternoon E-V-E-R!!!



So I was trying to be a good student and was trying to fly 2 lessons in one day. Something that can be done if you are ready and know your stuff, and if your instructor doesn't have a different student to get to. Well....cause my instructor, Nate William, rocks, I was given the opportunity to do just that. So I left, like usual, and did a lesson on my way up to a smaller airport about 50 miles North of Grand Forks. After practicing some landings, which were rockin' awesome, we landed and parked the airplane to get some sludgy FBO coffee and to debrief before we started doing my next lesson. We did that and chilled for awhile cause it was a beautiful sunny day and the temps were considerable warmer up there....i think it hit 20F that day. We went out the the airplane to get in and go again, and thats when the problem was revealed to me....WE HAD A FLAT TIRE!!! When flying, you cannot fly with a flat tire...it would bend and possibly break the strut. So we had to call back to UND and wait for another airplane to come with a tire. Thats when all the FUN began!!!
I got to walk up and down the runway, see the signs up close, and take tons of pictures...it was the best Sunday afternoon I have ever had! I learned so much about General Aviation, and flying for fun!
