Just two days after my first iFly adventure, I went back for more! I found out that the 10-pack of rides I purchased during my first visit has to all be consumed in one future visit, so I bought a “return flyer” pack of three flights from the iFly Web site. Note to self: returning flights are cheaper than your maiden flight, but you still get the best discounts by buying flights in person.
This time I got to work on some new skills! As you’ll see in the video below, the instructor brought me to the ground and worked on teaching me hand tilts to get my body to turn left and right. He also showed me how to move my body up and down, as well as side to side.
Even though it is an extra charge, I’m glad I bought this video off the iFly Web site. I can see now, after a few repeat viewings, that I wasn’t fully understanding the instructor’s instructions to get my body to move the right way. Watching this video, as well as the ones from tunnelflight.com, are getting me more prepared for session 3, which I’ve scheduled for next weekend. This time I’m bringing my two boys along as well. I’m excited for them to experience the sensation of flying, and also afraid of the inevitable dent in my wallet that will follow if either of these guys decides they want to take up flying as a hobby!
