After spending $20 on a Discovery flight, I knew without a doubt this is what I wanted to do with my life — fly! The only flight school in town paired me with George, the best flight instructor ever, in my opinion.

Key Takeaways:
- After a discovery flight, the author began flight training with an exceptional instructor, George, who emphasized calm, strong stick-and-rudder skills, and going beyond basic lessons.
- During an early area solo flight, the pilot experienced an engine failure but, recalling George's advice to "stay calm" and "fly the airplane," skillfully executed an emergency landing in a field.
- The incident, which saw the engine repaired on-site and the plane flown back the same day, validated the crucial importance of thorough flight instruction and the pilot's ability to handle critical situations.
