So there I was...

January 1st, 2016.

My two month old son, Lee, dressed himself in his flight suit and asks to go flying.


We should have a picnic while Dad preflights.


Back seat passenger until you can read a map and point out other planes.


Mom, I’m going to hold your hand. 


Backseat tower says runway 15, cleared for take off.  Nap time.


Low ground effect, formation flight take off.


Cruising around @ FL 080.


Cabin crew reporting in.


Going left.


Going right.


Going home.


Runway 15, cleared to land.


That was fun!

Hahaha, that was great!

+1, Nice

Nice! Too funny.

Awesome!

Thanks guys. That was a special flight and the best way to begin my thread.

News: I passed my instrument knowledge test today.

Congratulations! I hope to take mine by the end of the month.

Congrats 'ou maat, lekker soos n krakker'!

Nice thing about the instrument flight test is that what you are asked to do is logical. I had a hard time teaching a lot of not energy wise private and commercial stuff.

More news: I passed my instrument practical yesterday

Now to plan our flight to Wisconsin next week. Hope to visit OSH on Friday, 7/29 for the first time.

Congrats!!

Congratulations! You probably already know this, but file often, even on VFR days, to keep using your newly honed skills.

I'm an OSH first timer this year as well but am driving in. The plan is to fly my then completed Bearhawk in 2018.

Yeah, I'll file as often as possible and it's really not a big deal to do that. Thanks for the encouragement.

We'll be driving in as well, from Viroqua. Spending the week there with family and will get some flying in locally.

We are flying to Houston to celebrate New Year's. Right now the stops look like KBGD and KSEP. Apparently there is a BBQ place next to SEP for a good lunch stop. Looking forward to closing out the 2016 logbook with an awesome trip. Pictures, pictures, pictures....must remember to take some.

Should put me around 90+ hours for the year. Yep, I completed the flight hours survey. It's been a great flying year.

The hard eight is amazing! Enjoy!! https://www.yelp.com/biz/hard-eight-bar ... =s_nb_i_mg
