Normally the club flies on Sunday, but as of Friday night it was not looking good for that, so Mike, Patsy, Greg, Farzan and I decided to have a go at it yesterday, even though our two instructos were not available. I got in two non-loggable flights with Patsy in the back... second was just a ride, so I could let him fly the whole thing. I did OK- in fact, had Herb been there to sign me off, it would have been a perfect day for me to solo. Wind was light, high clouds.
Whatever- it was fun, and if I do solo before the end of this season, I'll just be starting over next spring anyway.

It was a while before I got back over to my car to get my camera (just had to after I missed a visiting TBM700- d'oh!)... here's Mike slipping over to land after dropping the rope.





Got over on the other side for a different angle... here's Greg bringing in the 2-33 after the last flight of the day.





Some cell phone snaps from my second ride; kinda nice to just play the passenger.




LOL- it wasn't quite freezing on the ground, but at 3000 I was glad I'd brought my neck warmer and "Elmer Fudd" hat...





A good look at the home 'drome.





A few arrivals and departures, shot from the south side of the runway...

When's the last day of the season, normally? Or is it year-round?

Until nobody feels like dealing with the cold (or snow), I guess.

I'm getting 404s for 3 of the photos...

Nice shots. Was there a slight crosswind, or is landing right main first compulsory?

That Commander is taking off, actually... not much wind but it was from the right. I see I'm not seeing those cellphone shots, either... hmmm...

There we go; case-error on the file extensions... d'oh.

Nice shots Sean, I almost didn't recognize you in that new hat. Thanks for taking us along. Mark

Ah yes - a slight lack of flap for a landing!

I can see the hat now too. Very nice, although I'd have had the ear flaps down!

nice shots! It indeed is quite cold up there in planes that have no heather!

Wonderful shots Sean....see you are having a wonderful time...

Is your club having a Christmas party or have they had it yet?

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Not that I know of, but that's not a bad idea!
