Fun to watch the instruments...altimeter, bank & turn, rate of climb, etc.

As a wedding gift my wife bought me 10 flight lessons at a local flight school. I eagerly went for my first...until the instructor took me to a seriously beat-up C152 that appeared to have major structural components replaced with duct tape (no joke or exaggeration).

We took off without incident but when we hit 10k feet my door flew open.

After we returned to terra firma I had them refund the remaining 9 lessons.
