Flight journal- flights 84, 85

[beaky]

Believe it or not, there are no entries in my log for the entire year of 1998. It was a rough year for me, mostly financially. Too many bills and expenses, and not enough money coming in. Flying went on the back burner, but I never stopped thinking about it. By the time January came around, I was tired of telling myself "wait until you can afford a block of time..."


Flight 84, 85

01-19-99, 01-20-99

C-172

ORL-X04-ORL

ORL (local)

1.3 dual; 4 landings

0.9 solo; 1 landing

"local flight; pilotage; maneuvers, MCA"

A long hiatus-sixteen months! ends with an impulsive move while visiting my friend Mitch in Orlando.
I book a 172 at Orlando Executive for a rental checkout, taking Mitch along with me. It is uneventful- the usual story: a few landings over at Apopka, starting with a predictably scary one and ending with an acceptable one.

So I go back the next day and rent another C-172 for a solo hop, out near the lake again.


I didn't work on landings... just wandered around and did a little MCA flying... I just wanted to sit up there for a while.

Next: my first BFR
