SOLO

Well, I made it. Last friday was a pretty big day, with a sim in the morning and my first T-6 solo flight in the afternoon.

To avert any doubts, I survived.

San Fran Fog

my first solo flight was scheduled for this past week. Had only two rides until I went up, alone, in the traffic pattern above Vance AFB. In a week, should be no problem to fit those in.

Then the fog rolled in.

It was the freezing, soupy, nasty stuff, keeping planes from taking off and us from doing much of anything. Attitudes took a nose-dive. The flight room became pretty stagnant. There's only so many hours that you can read the same books, in the same place, all day long. Not the best of weeks.

More of the same, weather-wise, is expected for the next week.
