Flying 01/23/10
Two or three weeks ago I got my biennial review done and have started to do some regular flying again (and since have finally broken 100 hours logged). Jake works for me one day a week during the winter and this gives me a good excuse to get more hours in. I run over and pick him up for work and then take him back home so I can also write this off as a business expense which is nice. Anything that helps offset the high cost of flying. I remembered we had on old 2.0 megapixel camera tucked away and I grabbed that and have decided to keep it in the flight bag. I have a nicer 10.5 megapixel camera, but it is rather bulky and I just don’t feel safe taking pictures while flying with it. The little Kodak is something I can handle with one hand and just point in the general direction of what I’m shooting while maintaining a good lookout for other traffic. Typically I don’t use it while I hear anyone making radio calls in my vicinity though. Once Jake is in the plane we can take turns shooting as much as we want. I’m trying to get some nice shots of approaches and landings as we go forward.
Anyway, today was a great day to fly. A few low clouds below two thousand feet that I had to dodge around, but that’s fun anyway.
And yes, I know we both need haircuts. We got it done right after we parked the plane.
