Wow..I have completely forgotten about this blog!
Well a lot has happened since my last post. I am up to 35.4 hours. Just about enough hours, I just need a couple more years on me before I can get the license! Ive just been going up here and there as time, weather, and money permits it. Most flights done in N19972 and a couple in N4802G, both C172's. Rick and I have been going around to nearby airports, doing what we feel like. Just a way to build and spend the time. Ive now been in many Class C and Class D controlled airspaces..(Boy, VATSIM really pays off when you get 2 compliments from the tower controller in one day!
) Rick is jaw-dropped at how good I can fly and talk at the same time. Most of his students I guess cant do that..haha.
I now have about ~2 hours under the hood..Oh boy that isnt fun on a humid and bumpy day! Shot some ILS approached into KCAK. FS practice with the needles also helps a lot too. Weve also done the basics as well: turns around a point, S-turns, stalls, pilotage & dead reckoning, shortfield/softfield takeoffs and landings., etc.
That is basically it! The weather is nice now and Im out of school for summer so I will definately get some more time in..Rick just landed a job with SportsJet LLC flying the Brasillia and later moving up to jets so he has been in FL. for the past 3 weeks in training.. lucky dog.
.Maybe I can catch some jump seat time? 
bill today and scheduled..(Oh how it adds up! Rental just jumped up $10.
)
Will definately keep ya updated as I keep goin up! Blue skies
