Fly Steve Fly: Made it to Bend and Sunriver
http://flystevefly.blogspot.com/2012/06/made-it-to-bend-and-sunriver.html
From first lesson on. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Made it to Bend and Sunriver. This time, we made the drive to Twin Oaks under some widely scattered clouds and a forecast for clearing and fairly light winds for all points along our planned route. We departed in glass smooth air for the short trip over to Mulino (4S9), where we would meet up with any others from Mulino OPA that would also be flying out to Bend for breakfast. With such a great forecast for the day, we hoped to be joined by a good turnout.

After breakfast and hanger talk, we left as a group for the Evergreen Aviation and Space museum in McMinnville - http:/ www.evergreenmuseum.org/.

Fly Steve Fly: November 2011
http://flystevefly.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
From first lesson on. Thursday, November 3, 2011. Turned out that the fog was going to stick around for a while, so we departed north towards Scappoose (SPB) for a simple out and back. I had been aware from the briefing that morning that Hillsboro (HIO) was closed for runway maintenance. Being the second busiest airport in Oregon, we talked briefly with the seemingly lonely controller at Hillsboro, not hearing another aircraft as we transitioned his airspace in both directions. There are usually flying c...

Fly Steve Fly: The Courtesy Car
http://flystevefly.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-courtesy-car.html
From first lesson on. Thursday, September 6, 2012. The courtesy car was at one time commonly available at small airports for use by visiting pilots. Due likely to liability, few airports still offer a courtesy car. Still, LebanAir Aviation at Lebanon State airport offers three. Matti and I flew down to Lebanon State (S30) on a nice morning to pick up a courtesy, have breakfast, and look around town a bit. Going to Astoria and TMK though soon. September 6, 2012 at 8:04 PM.

Fly Steve Fly: December 2011
http://flystevefly.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
From first lesson on. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Okay, so it only has a 14in wingspan. Morning fog, and one of the 172’s offline for an upgrade, has made scheduling difficult. Fortunately, ceiling and visibility requirements are considerably less for RC models, and availability means only charged batteries and a mile drive to the park. With Matti home for holiday break, we made a trip over to Coyote Hobby to browse around a little. Before leaving, I got the go ahead to pick something up for myself.
