Thar She Blows!!!
Okay – the wind wasn’t this strong – but close to it! The wind was so strong during this flight that it made landings very difficult and a lot of fun. I had to do a lot of crabbing into the wind to get angled correctly for flying around the pattern. Something that came quite […]

1 Year, 1 Month, and 1 Day
That’s how long it had been since my last flight as a pilot. Well, I’m super excited to say that the wait to start flying again is over! I went up this Monday afternoon with my instructor Rick for an hour long flight around the Troutdale/Boring area of Oregon.

Beginning To Fly Again!!!

After taking over two and a half months from flying, I finally got to get myself in the cockpit of a plane again to go flying. Though I told myself I wouldn’t go fly again until I finished my written test, I also knew I didn’t want to waste such a beautiful summer due to […]

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 […]

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 […]
