A Fun Flight...







Well, bright and early this morning I took my instructor and a Twin Star up to get in some night flight. We flew up to SLC and did some touch & gos. It was pretty freakin' awesome!! There we are in the dead of night (approx. 4:00am) doing a traffic pattern right next to all the UPS and FedEx "Heavy" jets landing and taking off.

After the five touch & gos we went back to Provo (PVU) to do some practice ILS approaches. I'm not one to boast or anthing, but of the five approaches we did 3 of them were darn near perfect and the other two WERE! Ah, what a wonderful thing to have a positive flight experience. My instructor is leaving town for a couple of weeks so I'll be getting another instructor to finish my long cross country and checkride prep. This means that my trip do Denver will likely be accomplished this weekend. We couldn't go on Monday because of inclement weather. When it comes to weather I always say, "Better safe than dead."

On a side note, I took my kids to the airport on Monday to show them the Twin Star. I think they enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy the pictures attached of them and the plane.
