I found sun up there!

In my never ending fight with gravity, or at least being bound to the ground, I decided to conquer the San Juan Islands this afternoon. After a few touch & go's at Friday Harbor, I flew out to Stuart Island and did a go around and a full stop landing. Then over to Orcas for a landing, and then on to Lopez for a landing, before returning to FH and landing. And then realizing that if I took off one more time, I could get some night landings in! Lu, my trusty companion (you've seen the bumper sticker "Dog is my co-pilot"? well - he really is!) well Lu agreed, and off we went for a little more flying, and then flew the pattern for two more landings. D'oh - as I write this I just realized I didn't make one a full stop... Guess I only get to count one of them... Oh well - another excuse to go night flying again!

What the heck have I been up to?

Well, summer is OVER! You may have noticed that I have not posted much at all this summer... Well, I have been busy learning to fly! I got my pilot’s license on Sept. 12th (the day before my birthday!) and have been enjoying the skys ever since! This picture is of me and my airplane at Scappoose, Oregon, after my first long flight as a pilot!
