I set my alarm for 8:00 am today in hopes of waking to clear skies for flying. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I looked out at yuck. I checked the various aviation weather sites online and they indicated yuck. I phoned for an aviation weather briefing and guess what? More Yuckaroos! Geesh. Oh well, I decided to go visit my mother in Fonthill. We went out for a coffee then headed over to the Seaway Mall. While there, I booted up my iPod Touch and checked the aviation weather again. It looked like it was clearing up! I phoned the Flying Club and was told that it was indeed clearing. I told him I would be there in about an hour and a half.
It was nice to see the clear blue skies up above. It was a little windy, but nothing major.
Here’s a pic of Vyc and I heading out:
I had a good laugh when the tower called me and asked if I had new tires. I guess the big, white labels gave them away:
I was actually a little disappointed when I noticed they all fell off after I landed. I felt special having new tires. Also, I littered.
It was a really nice day for a flight. I think I was up for about an hour and a half. The visibility was great:
The weather for the first half of the week isn’t looking too good, so I’m very happy to have flown today. Vyctor handles great! I can tell that he weighs more than my last plane. It’s fairly noticeable during take-offs and landings. His cruising speed is a little faster too, which is a nice bonus.
I have to go make a couple batches of fudge for my RAA (Recreational Aircraft Association) meeting tomorrow night, so I shall say ado!
Today’s symptoms: Felt physically better today than I have over the last week. Yea!
