Today was much better than last time.
I had a CAP squadron meeting this morning, and afterwards I wandered over to the FBO to get some plexiglas cleaner for the club airplane.
While I was waiting for Sue to come back to the counter, Keoki Gray, co-founder of Amelia Island Aerobatics, happened to be standing at the counter. I had heard that he was an excellent instructor, and I had been thinking about asking him if I could fly with him for an hour or so to work on my landings, and general smoothness, so I asked him if he was interested in flying with me. He asked what I had in mind, and I told him I was most concerned with improving my landings. He asked me a few questions, and gave me a few tips.
Well, I've always thought Keoki had some kind of Zen aura, but, yikes!
A few hours later, I went back to the airport to do a bit of flying in the club plane. I did five touch and goes. The first one was pretty darned good, and none of the landings were horrible.
If just talking to him for a few minutes provided that much improvement, I can't wait to see what happens when I actually fly with him.
