IFR Adventures
My last two logbook entries depict flights with quality, IFR flying. Both flights involved the completion of three instrument approaches in actual conditions. One involved an honest to God holding pattern requested by ATC while the other involved my first approach to a military installation - Lackland AFB (Kelly Field Annex).
Now THAT was an experience!
You see, Lackland AFB is home to an 11,550 foot long by 300 foot wide runway. The runway bears the scars of many C-5A Galaxy landings. Shortly after emerging from a slightly bumpy broken layer of clouds at 3,000 feet I was advised by Kelly Tower that I was “Cleared for the Low Approach.”
