Flying a C172 - Simulator vs. Right Seat

I got some valuable time in the right seat of a C172 outside of the simulator yesterday (KFCH Fresno 🛩️ O42 - Woodlake, CA). Special Thanks to Eric L. for ride & pictures.

My primary take away was the firmness of the controls in flight verses the Simulator, which remains as easy to move in the air as the real controls are while on the ground.
