Flying is starting to become more regular for me. I try to go at least once a week but last week I got rained out. So I finally got to go again today. This time I went to Bloomington, IN to practice landing and navigating to a towered airports where I have to contact the tower and get directions from them for landing. Bowman field is also a towered airport and Clarksville does not have a tower so you announce your position when you are landing or in the pattern. I recently also got a book about aviation communication which will help me become more comfortable with talking to the towers and at bigger airports like SDF (Standiford) or Lexington if I ever wanted to go there on one of my cross country flights. Eventually, I will have to go to those kinds of airports more often so it is good to get practice. Another thing that I will work on more in the near future is night flying. I plan to take some extra lessons on night flying with my instructor to get more used to it.
On a more comical note, check out this cute video from one of my great childhood memories. (Ps. Don’t do this at home) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODZ5Maa6VnQ&noredirect=1
Fly with Christ,
