First step, put on that carb heat. Throttle back, flaps at 20 degrees, trim nose up. Everything looked good. Airspeed 80, perfect. A beautiful full-stall landing, one of my best.
Pilots call it a greaser.
Soon after soloing, I bought my own plane. I would spend 200 hours in 3501 Alpha. The next big hurdle in flying was getting my license so I could carry passengers. Due to the residuals of polio, I received a waiver from the Federal Flight Surgeon in Oklahoma City. Then I passed the physical exam given to all private pilots.
