Flying Dutchman: Icewater Mansion
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2011/09/icewater-mansion.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. Jake helps with the preflight. Gotta make sure the altimeter is set correctly. Just like riding in the car. Sky Harbor is the bare patch in the middle of the narrow strip. Later my wife mentioned she was nervous because the runway looked so short. It's actually 3000 feet long but with water on both sides, it's a much different sight picture than what she's used to. My son Jake simply played his leapster in the back seat the whole trip. I took that as a compliment. A mile of ru...

Flying Dutchman: November 2010
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. River flying and a new passenger. It was a beautiful day to fly so that's what I did. I arranged for a friend and his 7 year old son to meet me at a small regional airport 20 minutes from my home base of Crystal Airport. One cool thing we saw was a Republic RC-3 SeaBee airplane right in front of us on the taxiway. I guess that was also a first.I've never seen one in person before. We landed uneventfully and my passenger disembarked. I then flew back to Crystal. As I was ...

Flying Dutchman: February 2011
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. Last Sunday, during the Great Blizzard of 2011, I managed to break my left leg on a patch of ice near my house. I'm not thrilled about that but I decided on surgery to speed things along versus a full leg cast for a month (followed by many more weeks in a smaller cast). On the brighter side, winter should be over for the most part by the time my leg is healed. But then again, considering the winter so far, it might not be over till June. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Well, as I ...

Flying Dutchman: March 2011
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. That being said, I'm on the road to recovery. I have a removable walking cast that allows me to put some. Weight on my leg. Oddly enough, it's the ankle that is the source of most of the pain lately.I wonder if I messed it up a bit when I fell or if the surgery to insert the stabilizing rod caused some distress. So I'm hoping in 2-3 weeks I can get into the air again before I forget too much. The weather is improving as well, but this vicious winter is reluctant to let go.

Sunday, September 12, 2010. Everything looked good so we hopped in and took off. It was a bit bumpy up there but not horrible.nobody complained of nausea so we just motored around, enjoying the flying. Joe took a bunch of photos of farms and houses - he is attempting to grow as a photographer. He gave me permission to share a few here:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ dasflyer.blogspot.com/.

Flying Dutchman: Owatonna Lunch Run
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2012/04/ok-im-bit-late-on-this-post-but-late-is.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. Ok, I'm a bit late on this post but late is better than never, right? A month ago, my wife suggested that we fly somewhere for my birthday, so I decided to fly my wife and son down to Owatonna for some shopping at Cabela's (an outdoor super store) and have lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. I checked the weather and it looked like the nice weather was going to hold all day so I reserved a plane and headed up to the airport. We had a lot of fun, and it was great being able to ...

Flying Dutchman: December 2009
http://studentaviator.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. I was a little worried: what was wrong with this airplane? Was the rudder damaged? So anyway, I'm current again in the Bravo and I hope to fly enough this winter to keep my skills from getting too rusty. I'd like to budget enough money to fly a lot more next spring, and possibly look into a flying club to cut expenses a bit. Until next time, fly safe! Tuesday, December 1, 2009. I haven't stopped flying. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ dasflyer.blogspot.com/.
