Aviated: What's New?
http://aviated.blogspot.com/2011/03/whats-new.html
Fulfilling the dream of becoming a Private Pilot. Why I Love The Cessna 152. Monday, March 7, 2011. I apologize for the lack of posting over the last few days; weekends are often pretty busy for me. So, what's new with the flight training? In other news, I have 33.5 hours and will need at least 6.5 more. I think I will be comfortable taking the test with around 45-50 hrs total time. That means 3 hrs practical test prep, and 3.2 hrs XC, plus some random 0.3 hrs. In the next few days. Subscribe via RSS Feed.

Fulfilling the dream of becoming a Private Pilot. Why I Love The Cessna 152. Saturday, February 26, 2011. I just went up for around 1.1 hrs today with one of the instructors, Scott. It was abnormally cold this morning at 10F, and -1F windchill. I started the pre-flight and surprisingly remembered how to do everything. That was good sign, considering my last flight was 10/10/2010. The landings all felt smooth as butter; we did a short field, soft field, and normal landing. I think the snow on the runw...
