• Landings In Marginal VFR

  The flight for today was quite short.  Just a half hour, but in that time I was able to get four landings in staying in the pattern.  I haven’t talked much about Marginal VFR on here, so I figure I’ll give you a brief rundown. Marginal VFR is between 3 and 5miles visibility and between […]

• 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 […]

• 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 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 […]

• Shirt Off My Back

  

  I didn’t get to fly yesterday, but I did get to pick up the rest of my shirt that was cut off my back after finishing my solo landings on Sunday. The tradition for pilots when they finish doing their first solo is to cut the back of the shirt off (or at least a […]

• Smooth Landings

  

  Well it has been a couple weeks since I’ve posted and since then I’ve flown twice.  Once a week later (last Thursday) and yesterday.  Weather just keeps getting in the way! My flight on Thursday was with Emily Stark and my flight yesterday was with James.  The flight with Emily was rough at first because […]

• C’est La Vie

  

  I’m kinda upset cause I wanna go flying.  I haven’t been able to fly for over a week and I’m getting so close to going on solo that I just want to keep on flying.
