I found flying to be much like learning to ride a bike successfully
for the first time. Tip over and fall many times then suddenly all
of a sudden it just comes to you and you ride away, kind of shaky but
staying on it upright. I found that same magic moment occurred when
it came near my soloing. I flew one morning knowing I was near
soloing, couldn't even get the plane lined up yet anything close to a
proper landing. Flew again that afternoon, by then I figured it
would be a while before I soloed, I greased them on one right after
another. Just like riding a bike, it all came together all at
once. Like the bike that first day I wasn't ready to ride between
two closely spaced trees on the first day. Like the bike, I found no
problem landing the plane thereafter.

Jerb, It is precisely the part you speak of:
"Tip over and fall many times then suddenly all
of a sudden it just comes to you and you ride away, kind of shaky but
staying on it upright."
I only have one Kolb and one body! ha, ha!
"I found that same magic moment occurred when it came near my soloing."
You know that I still feel the feelings of the first time I rode a bike, just like it was yesterday. And I feel about (excuse this unmanly word) "giddy" about my first flight, though I have played it over and over in my dreams. I get us in the morning making airplane sounds, my wife says it sounds more like snoring and I have to correct her into understanding that these are two-cycle and sound very much like snoring!
"Just like riding a bike, it all came together all at
once. Like the bike that first day I wasn't ready to ride between
two closely spaced trees on the first day. Like the bike, I found no
problem landing the plane thereafter. "
And you know, I know exactly what your saying. I am becoming again childlike in this new, yet old interest. But is sure feels good to hear it repeated and stated with the confidence you fellows state it with. I told my instructor that it may take me longer than most to get into my own Kolb, but when I am there, look out. I will fly often and well!
I hope that our brothers in flight are having good weather, great companionship and healthy planes to fly in. I hope John gets his hot sauces and his stomach holds up well, but then again, he used to fly helicopters. I hope all the others are enjoying their trip out and back and would pray for their safe return.
