About This Blog:

The primary purpose of this blog is to showcase the best of my aviation photography. As such, you will find links to my main aviation gallery on Facebook containing photos from aircraft spotting, some kind of aviation event such as air shows and fly-in events, as well as aviation museums. I also critique my flights on commercial airlines and the services they provide. Occassionally, you'll find personally written, independent articles based on news and current events involving aviation. And of course, I'll put up links to official and unofficial aviation-related websites when I find them. And when time permits, I'll talk and discuss about anything involving aviation. But most importantly, this is my way to document my journey into the aviation industry!

Pilot Life: A Flight Towards Improvement

I went flying again with my instructor today to continue recurrent training. And today's flight was satisfying for two reasons: First, I got to fly three days this week, as it should be. And second, today's flight saw a lot of improvement on my part and things are starting to feel natural again. At the same time however, I'm being careful so I don't get overconfident.

N879CT, "Wolf 08," the plane my instructor and I took up today. And before you ask, no there wasn't any snow on the ground; I took this picture earlier this year during the dead of winter season!

As usual, I got pre-flight done, my instructor joined me at the airplane, got the engine started up, taxied, did run-ups, taxied some more, and get airborne. Once we got to the practice area we got to work. My instructor had me do stalls, slow flight, emergency procedures, and ground reference maneuvers. Overall, he felt that I did pretty well and he says today was a significant improvement, so I felt that I got a little confidence back. I've still got a bit to go but I think I finally say that I'm making progress again!
