Spreading my wings (again, again)

Spent some time this morning reviewing FAR Part 91 and will be doing more of this after lunch. This afternoon I’ll be meeting my instructor for my flight review. Looking forward to being in the air again, even if it’ll be 100+ degrees in the cockpit when we get started! Hope to post a few photos soon and offer a fresh perspective on the flight review when all is said and done.

I also hope to spend some much needed time in the weeks and months ahead giving NoticeToAirmen.com a much needed refresh of content, multimedia and more - including some high-resolution videos I have recently shot with my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

Back in the air (again!)

My Aerial Steed - 2003 Cessna Skyhawk SP
I could feel my pilot wings start to flutter when I looked outside on Sunday morning to see that a sea of cloudless, blue sky beckoned from above. Sunday morning marked my return to the air after a hiatus of a few months.

Don’t get me wrong. The urge to fly has always been there but I have been ignoring its siren call to pursue other, less expensive (yes, like everyone else in this economy, I’ve had to be more mindful of expenses) and almost as gratifying endeavors like cycling.

Pilot flies with her feet…amazing!

This is a great story and I wanted to share it.

He lives!

Promise to post several updates! I have done some flying since my last blog post and hope to do some flying during my holiday vacation.

Money is a bit tight these days so I have not flown nearly as much as I’d like. I have mentally reconciled that maintaining my IFR currency is just not realistic given the time/cost involved. I’ll concentrate on keeping VFR current and look forward to the future when I can regain my cloud-busting flying privileges.

Oshkosh Photo Gallery

One update from Oshkosh and then dead silence.

Sorry folks. As usual, I got too darn busy!

I captured more than 1200 images during my three full days on the grounds at Airventure 2008. Here’s a link to a Flickr photo gallery that will slowly be updated with shots as I find time to edit/upload:

Oshkosh 2008 - Update One

Yesterday was my first full day on the Oshkosh grounds. The weather could not have been more perfect. I am completely amazed at how early the sun rises here. I was awakened by dawn light at 5am-ish! Whoa!

We had a full day of covering various stories including the first public flight and announcement of a new jet created by the highly successful Cirrus Aircraft company. It made a single fly-by and I was ready with my Canon EOS-1D Mark II set on a high-speed motor drive.

Here’s the shot:

Gotta run for now - will post a more thorough update soon!
