What a great weekend thus far! After work yesterday, I flew for about 45 minutes. I was hoping to get out to the training area and practice stalls and spins, but the ceiling wasn’t high enough. I ended up doing about three touch and go’s, then a very brief flight out of the zone and back. Fortunately, I was able to fly again today. I went to work at 8:00am for overtime, and was planning on staying until 2:00. However, I left at 12:00 and Chuck and I met back at the apartment. I grabbed my GPS and we headed out to the airport. We flew out to Brantford to go to the Aircraft Spruce store. I like sitting up fairly high in the airplane, so we went to buy some extra seat cushions. They didn’t have any in stock so we left empty handed. It was a nice flight though. Here’s a shot of little Vyctor in Brantford:
Notice how coordinated his wheel chalks are….
Here are some pics of us coming back into St. Catharines:
We decided to do some aerobatics on the way:
Ok, not really! I don’t think Chuck will be up to any unusual attitudes or movements!
Here we are arriving back at the airport.
I discovered that I need to add more flaps when landing this plane compared to my last one. Otherwise, I come in a little too fast and hard.
The third flight in three days will be tomorrow morning. I found an aerobatic instructor who is going to give me my first lesson. Yea! I can’t wait. It looks like it’s going to be a nice, sunny day too. Hopefully I will have some good pictures and video to share with you all tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Today’s symptoms. I’m still improving over my few weeks of physically poopiness. My fatigue is getting better every day.
