The Skyhawk SP
I got checked out in the club's 172-S Skyhawks and had a great afternoon and evening buzzing around playing with the moving map GPS and autopilot. The extra horsepower was nice too.
I ended up flying from Westosha to Kenosha to Poplar Grove (Belvidere) to Waukesha and back to Kenosha. At Kenosha Kurt and I went out and buzzed around for a while and then I headed back to Westosha.
This is a view to the west just after I departed Waukesha Airport. There is a big quarry in the foreground and the airport just beyond it.
You may just be able to see the downtown skyline of Milwaukee in this view to the east taken just after I departed Waukesha.
Here is a view of all the toys in the instrument panel.
Aside from some drizzle and some mild gusts, it was perfectly smooth and warm, a beautiful day to be out flying!
