Hah, I just came to your site while searching for John LaPorta’s contact info only to find my husband had commented on here in January. Any chance you have John’s phone number or email, as I am trying to set something up as a surprise for my husband. (Here’s to hoping my husband isn’t subscribed to follow-up comments…)

Hey, I flew with John LaPorta too. He’s a great instructor, really friendly, calm, and confident.

@David: We were flying mock landing patterns over a less densely populated practice area. Apparently the folks in Bellevue don’t like foy-ins. =). What were you flying back in your lessons?

@Manu: I am currently taking ground school classes from a friend. It’s a pretty informal deal where we sit down once a week at lunch and cover another chapter in the book.

Sounds like fun! Did you have to take some classes prior to start flying it?

I was wondering, after stalking you on your GPS-page, why you had a lot of activity at the airport and then that bizarre-looking set of loops over residential areas… good thing I didn’t notify the FBI (ha).

Glad to read the wheels stayed on, too! When I was taking lessons (1982), I was too short to reach the pedals – I was intrigued by the press-both-pedals instructions, very interesting.

And I vividly remembering how counterintuitive the “throttle = altitude” equation is!

Glad you’re having fun fulfilling The Dream!
