Those are the flights I loved flying as well. They are NOT boring when you have the yoke. They are really not boring when you have the yoke and you are under the hood. They are the best when you have the yoke, under the hood and the instructor takes they plane and yanks it all over the sky and releases the controls and expects you to recover while looking only at the instruments. I liked it less when the attitude indicator gyro could not keep up with the insufferable son of. Actually, he was the best instructor for anything I have ever had, but he would get ahead of the gyro and expect me to not use the attitude indicator to recover since it would be off a bit.
