  • Completed My First Biennial Flight Review

    Once you obtain your pilots license, you have it forever.  There are some requirements however that need to be done in order to keep flying.  One of those requirements is the Biennial Flight Review, and I was able to get it done in just the nick of time.

  • Side Slips, Steep Turns, and Stalls

    Yesterday evening, I met up with my instructor at 6:30 to do some ground followed by a flight. The ground was a good session going over a number of topics I need to memorize and work on. After a flight prep, we were off.

  • Getting Better

    Flight number two after getting back into things.  The flight today started pretty smooth with a great flight prep, and take-off, however I realized pretty soon after that I was quite rusty.

  • 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 […]

  • Above The Clouds

    Yesterday, after canceling a flight on Monday, I was able to go flying and boy was it beautiful. I didn’t expect to go flying since the fog was out in Portland.  Thankfully, as I drove to Twin Oaks, the skies got pretty clear around the airport. After prepping the plane and talking with Rick, we […]
