Again a new toy

Okay, so I haven't posted any Vegas updates, so sue me. Anyway I got to ride in a new toy again last night. Firstly, it's not my toy and secondly I didn't take the photo. Thirdly this isn't the actual plane, but it's the same model. It is a Cessna 172R, a four seater (theoretically) single engine plane. And it's what I'm learning to fly in.

I had a familiarisation lesson last night where I took off, flew round the Scarborough Bluffs a few times, circled downtown and the CN Tower, and then the instructor took over for the first time since taxiing and landed (due to heavy winds.)

So I start Ground School training next week, and am planning on starting proper flight training in the next week or two. Should be interesting, now where is that cheque book...
