Justin’s Pilot Reports (PIREP)

Am I just getting older or do 90 days really go by that fast?

A recent peek in my logbook confirmed my suspicions. I was not legal to fly passengers at night since it had been more than 90 days without logging 3 takeoffs and landings.

On Sunday evening I rented Skyhawk 810SA, a 2003 Cessna 172SP so I could resolve this issue! I decided to toss an instrument approach into the mix and flew the Stinson Airport VOR Runway 32 approach. This provided a seamless means of lining me up for Runway 32 and the tower offered me a straight-in landing since winds were calm.

Subtitled “the Romance of Flying”, the new movie One Six Right is unlike any aviation documentary you’ve ever experienced. It is a visual feast with some of the best air-to-air videography I’ve seen. Played appropriately with my Dolby Digital 5.1 home theater setup, the walls shaked in our house as a P-51 Mustang’s merlin engine roared past us.

To top it off, it features a beautiful soundtrack that captures the beauty and adventurous spirit that is flying.
