Admittedly it was 42 years ago and I have very little memory of my first hour of dual. What I do remember is I was in the left seat, we started the takeoff roll, the instructor pulled back on the yoke we were airborne. We were barely above the runway and he said, "YOUR airplane." I flew the remainder of the time until landing. I was in a C-150 I had 11000 feet of runway (the B-52s used it regularly) and I was flying, not well or pretty but I was PIC. That was an aeroclub at Ellsworth AFB and immersion was the SAC way, even off-duty.
