Here is the video of my first flight in 2012. This video was recorded with my Flip camera but I have another video with my GoPro Hero2 camera. I haven't flown in over a month so I decided to fly the pattern and practice some things that I learned at the beginning of my training. We took off runway 27 and made left traffic for the whole flight. We did touch and goes, short approaches, stop and goes, forward slips, a no flap landing, and an aborted takeoff! It was great practice and good to get back into it after not flying for a while. The weather was great although it was a little bumpy out today. Enjoy the video!
@lethalCT4E Haha! Thanks! I didn't forget any of the exercises although I was a little rusty on them. But I got back into the hang of it. I was going to do a cross-country flight but decided that I should stay in the pattern cause I haven't flown in a while. Thanks for the comment!

Geez Sam, I don't fly for 2 or 3 days and I go into withdrawal......you must have been really hanging out for it after being away for a month or so!
You did pretty well with your practice approaches, aborts, flapless approach/landing (I love doing these) and touch and go's. Did you find that you hadn't forgot how to do any of these exercises? Most student pilots that I have had the pleasure of working with are quite amazed that they can remember everything they were taught! Nice video Sam :)
