Flying sure is fun and the freedom to move around the skies at twice the speed limit with no stop or red lights to slow us down.
If you’re high enough, like 7-8,000 feet you are above the normal flight schools. So less traffic and more relaxed on longer flights.
Keep smiling and it’s time to fly.
VT stands for “Visual Theatre”.

The first photo shows us a grass runway at an airport called “Indiantown”.
Now we are about 5 miles away from the airport and looking very hard to find a grass runway. The 2nd photo is my photo of it as i finally found it. To the left of the pond and to the left of the trees. Phew, thank the person who created GPS to help find it. Years ago, we had to find it by looking out the window and hope to see it.

Here I am with Kim flying his Mooney 201 on an IFR training flight. So we are heading to an airport (Pohokee) and of course you cannot see it. So we fly to an Initial fix then turn towards the airport. This is an approach to land. What you see here is an accurate representation of your position as you navigate to the fix.

My wife and I are both focused on living.
Yes we fly, rest on the beach and exercise 4-7 days a week. Thats of course for me to be healthy and strong for years to come. We both started running many years ago and still at it. Hope to meet you someday and go fly for lunch and a coffee.

Looks like I may be flying soon.
An A&P friend I met a few months ago agreed to allow me the use of his plane for personal and instructional. It’s 180HP Cessna 172 and VFR at the moment. I am bringing the plane to the avionics shop next week to make it better for our uses. It’s in Fort Pierce, Florida which has three runways so practice or winds are not an issue.

I was too late for the original story, but I drove as fast as I could to steer the new Titanic to safety.

It’s been a while since I have given flying lessons. I am now living in Florida and recently met a woman who loves to fly too.
I do plan to pick up new students here that already own or rent a plane. I am glad to be back with you all.

My friend Kim knows how to navigate around the weather, or did he make a straight line avoiding the weather. A good pilot has to foresee what is in front and manage to make it home while avoiding the worst. Now to fly with him and become a better pilot too.
