This is my instructor Brian and I at a short stop on one of our trips around Washington. I found out today that if the weather holds and I continue to fly well I will be taking my Private Pilot test as early as the end of next week. I have a lot to learn and perfect between now and then but it is amazing how fast our education is progressing. I still have not had time to finish my first solo video. I will keep you posted.

It is Cross Country time. So far I have flown to Pullman (not much there worth writing about, go Dawgs), Walla Walla, Pasco, Moses Lake, Ephrata and Wenatchee. This is a picture from our stop in Wenatchee. I have had some great trips but I have not taken many pictures because the visibillity has been down due to all the wild fires. That and I have been pretty busy just flying the plane.

Back at school we are still working on this maneuver. So far we have the top position pretty well worked out but we are struggling with keeping our skyhawks inverted with those pesky gravity feed fuel systems. I will let you know when we work it out.

Ack it has been a while since I have had a moment to update the blog. I apologize to those faithful visitors over that last few weeks. Since I wrote last I have been engrosed with flying and maintenance at school. However, we did manage to escape for a weekend and see the airshow at Faichild Air Force Base. It was fantastic, and for the record, that is a F-117 pilot waving to me.
