I'm in there alone, and I'm about to fly this thing!
It was a great morning to go flying, and I was up early in anticipation of my first solo flight. I had flown the pattern...
For Valentines day this year, I was able to take Christina flying to see the city and airport lights from the evening sky.
On February 8th, 2012, I passed my checkride and became a private pilot!
On November 10th, 2011, I experienced my first radio failure during my 3rd solo. I was at 36 hours of dual-instruction in the plane, and only 1 hour of solo experience.
I'm happy this new style of instruction is actually going to allow me to spread my wings a bit and get some practice without a right-seat driver.
The tires eased off the pavement and I was airborne. Just me and N8441B, out to circle the skies. I knew how to do this, and the rest was just pure fun.
