I løpet av sommeren og høsten har jeg fått litt flere timer i motorseilflyet, og jeg har blitt mer komfortabel med å slå av motoren i lufta. Noe som er en litt uvanlig setning å skrive som motorflyger…

For å kunne fly VFR-natt med passasjerer må jeg ha en natt-landing i løpet av de siste 90 dagene, på korrekt klasse. Jeg har ikke fløyet VFR-natt siden jeg fullførte nattutsjekken i vår. Så jeg hadde behov for en landing i hvert fly, så jeg kunne bli current på både SEP og TMG. I dag var det fint vær, og jeg var allerede på flyplassen etter et par flyturer, så i dag passet det ypperlig å ta en natt-tur i hvert fly.

At the birthplace of Wilbur Wright you can walk around where Wilbur took his first steps. The house is open, and you can get a glimpse of how life was back then.
