Winter Blues

I’m still looking for work so haven’t been able to justify getting in a plane since Laughlin in December. I’ll go up pretty soon though just for some pattern work, and I have a friend willing to pay half towards a Catalina buffalo burger.

Fortunately there is plenty of aviation to be had just a few miles down the road from me. At least twice a day, the world-famous Blue Angels strut their stuff overhead in rehearsal for this year’s shows. From now until their first show here on March 11 we get treated to some great shows in the sky. There is a spot fairly close to NAF EL Centro which gives a great view and, more importantly, a great feeling as those jets roar above your head.

Your Pilot In Command

I got my private pilot certificate in Feb 2002, and my instrument rating exaclty one year later in 2003. I fly out of Montgomery Field, San Diego, renting Cessna 172s, 182s, and Piper Archers from PlusOneFlyers. I also have high performance and complex endorsements.

Currently, I have approximately 350 hours of PIC time, including 450 landings, and a monster 6.4 hours of actual instrument time. September 2010
