One thing I noticed during my first flight was that I was so focused on flying the airplane, I really didn't get a chance to appreciate the aerial view of the Bay Area. A tremendous opportunity was whisking by my wings at 120 KIAS and I didn't even notice it. Then again, I was doing my best to maintain situational awareness and not getting too euphoric over actually flying.
I know the rules are aviate, navigate and communicate so focusing on aviating was the absolute correct thing, I just hope that as I get more comfortable behind the controls I can spare a second or two to enjoy the beauty that is a few thousand feet beneath my wings.
