  • Unexpected Solo

    It had been over a week since my last flight where I took time to practice soft/short field landings/departures.  Today I did an unexpected solo flight as my instructor was preoccupied.

    This morning flight was spent around Lenhardt Airpark (7S9) and Mulino State Airport (4S9). Both of these are small airports with the former allowing for grass landings and take offs.

  • Landing with a Smile

    Today was my first flight to Valley View Airport (5S9) near Estacada, Oregon.  This flight ended up being one of the most enjoyable and successful flights I’ve had in a long time!

  • 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 […]
