Ok, I lied.
My promise about a post regarding interesting facts in commercial aviation will have to be put on hold.
I decided that to keep this blog alive and fresh, I will try to make a summary post every time I finish a flight. In these summaries, I will include stories, pictures, videos, ATC recordings, etc. These won't have any "big picture" discussions or endless rants. Instead, they will just dish out the good stuff: Flying. And when you're flying in good ol' Vermont, the views never get old.
Date: 10/11/2011
Time: 2000z-2210 zulu (4pm-6pm local)
Elapsed Flight Time: 1.5 Hours
Route: VT8-KBTV-VT8 (Shelburne to Burlington International and Back)
Weather: Pristine!
KBTV 112054Z 33004KT 10SM CLR 18/06 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP221 T01780061 56013 As the title suggests, I simply couldn't resist flying on a day like today. After some misreading of bus schedules, I managed to completely miss school (luckily, I only had one class). One call to Burlington Airport's weather station was all I needed: Winds calm, sky clear. 2 hours later, I was in the air.
Want to hear me on the radio?
My callsign is N7828Z (usually identified as "Cessna Two Eight Zulu"). I'm the guy with the scratchy, near-indistinguishable radio!
Anyways. Here are some shots I snapped on my phone. Mi madre just ordered a camera-to-computer cable, so some videos and higher resolution shots are right around the corner!
In retrospect, I realized that this flight was probably one of my last solo's before I (finally!) turn 17 and obtain my Private Pilot's License. It's been a humbling journey, to say the least.
