Life: Up up and away (week 5,31/365,shinsato)

I've done most of my flight training in this Cesna 150 at Bitterroot Aviation which sits in a hanger at Stevensville Airport. I was waiting for my instructor to arrive. I've received my Private Pilot license last year, but it's really just a license to learn they say. I went up in the sky a short while after this photo with blinders called foggles which prevented me from seeing outside the cockpit. The foggles are used by instructors on their students as part of the training for an instrument rating, which is necessary to be allowed to fly through clouds and other situations where the FAA judges there is insufficient visibility from the airplane.
