• Three New Airports and a Night Flight!

  

  Last night I had my first adventure flying an airplane at night.  The night was beautiful!  What a difference flying in the day makes.  It is amazing how different the eye works during the day than at night.  Though it was amazing, boy did it cost a lot! During the flight I went to three […]

• Taking In The Sunny Weather

  

  This weekend I had two wonderful flights.  The first, soloing in a Cessna 150 around Twin Oaks, the other, flying with Rick over to Lenhardt Airpark (7S9) and landing for the first time on a grass (soft-field) runway.  Both flights were amazing and made me realize even more that this stuff is sinking into my […]

• I Can Fly A Cessna 150!

  

  This last week I had two fantastic flights. One in a Cessna 172 with Rick on my birthday, then a first time flight and solo endorsed in a Cessna 150 with James. I couldn’t have asked for a better time. My flight with James in a Cessna 150 was brought on by the increased cost […]

• Happy Birthday To Me!

  Monday was quite a lot for me.  Not only did I have a great flight, I also turned 27, had my 1-yr anniversary living in the Portland area, and Tuesday brought 1-yr working at my job.  What an awesome day. I’m now soloed at all three of the non-towered airports around Twin Oaks.  Those are […]

• First 50-Mile Cross-Country Flight

  Yesterday, after a few weeks of trying to do so, I was able to finally fly a cross-country flight down to Corvallis (CVO), up to Salem (SLE), and back home to Twin Oaks (7S3).  The flight was one of my longest to date around two hours, but great to be able to check off my […]

• Short Flight

  I went over to Twin Oaks today expecting the wind to stay around five knots, but as we took off to fly, the winds increased.  I was only able to do a couple landings that day, but since I was working to solo at Twin Oaks, I wasn’t able to do much more than that. […]

• Over The Trees

  This last weekend I was supposed to fly with Rick on a cross-country flight from Twin Oaks (Hillsboro) to Corvallis, over to Salem, and then back home to Twin Oaks.  And to my dismay, it was another rained out weekend. L And even though I didn’t get to fly on Friday or Sunday (as scheduled), […]
