Back To Having Fun
My flight instructor, Dana, said I needed more pictures on my website of me as a licensed pilot-in-command. Well, I don't have that but I have some photos of me with trusty N96832 and of my first flight down the Chicago lakefront. This past weekend was beautiful flying weather here so it was nice to get out after being skunked by the weather the previous weekend.
I didn't fly all the way downtown Chicago in the evening, but went as far as Montrose Harbor. The lights of Wrigley Field are visible on the right side of this image, and the lights of downtown Chicago in the center.
I also flew over my home neighborhood, my old neighborhood in Libertyville, the Fort Sheridan area where I used to work, and a couple areas along the North Shore where Wright Architects has projects. Here is a shot of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, from a flight earlier in the afternoon.
A couple weeks ago I got checked out in the club's 172P's so from now on I'm moving up to the bigger iron! (So to speak--172's don't really qualify as "big iron." :)
