In light of earning my Private Pilot Certificate yesterday, it would seem appropriate to take a look back at all the aircraft I've logged time in. Looking at my logbook, I logged 70 flights before earning my license. Here's a photo montage of all the airplanes I logged flight time in towards my Private Pilot Certification (Specific highlights, notable occasions, and milestones on certain aircraft are noted in the captions):
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N957CT) "Wolf 05," the first plane I logged my first flight hour in. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N988CT) "Wolf 18." I flew my very first logged cross-country flight with my instructor in this airframe. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N221NH) "Wolf 04." |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N879CT) "Wolf 08." I flew my very first night cross-country flight to Ogden with an instructor in this airframe; also on that same flight, I flew my very first logged flight into Class Bravo Airspace up in Salt Lake City. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N208NH) "Wolf 02." I flew my first solo cross-country flight from Provo to Richfield and back on this airframe. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 (N987CT) "Wolf 12." |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N245NH) "Wolf 01." This airframe would be the last UVU Katana I flew before resuming my flight training down in Spanish Fork with Platinum Aviation. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N980CT) "Wolf 09." This is the airplane I flew my very first solo flight in. Later on in my training, I took this same airplane on my second solo cross country flight from Provo to Richfield and back via Nephi. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N220NH) "Wolf 03." I flew my second solo flight in this airframe. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N974CT) "Wolf 06." I flew my third solo flight into a practice area on this airframe. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N958CT) "Wolf 14." I flew a cross-country from Provo to Richfield and back with my second flight instructor as part of recurrent training in this aircraft. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Evolution (N885CT) "Wolf 11." |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Falcon (N390JA) "Wolf 10." I only flew in this airplane once, but it turned out to be my favorite Katana to fly at UVU. I also consider it to be the "black sheep" of the UVU Katana fleet mainly because it's the only DA-20 at the school to have rear windows, which I found to be a neat feature. |
 |
| Piel CP-301 Emeraude (N5TX), the plane in which I got my first taste of flying a tail-dragger on with my uncle in Idaho while my regular flight training at UVU was stalled the first time. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Katana Eclipse (N992CT), the first airframe I flew when I started flying with Platinum Aviation in Spanish Fork following a second lull in flight training with UVU. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Katana Eclipse (N968CT). I also flew a solo cross-country flight from Spanish Fork to Delta and back on this aircraft. |
 |
| Diamond DA-20-C1 Katana Eclipse (N802CT). I flew a solo flight in this aircraft after my third flight instructor endorsed me a week into flying with Platinum Aviation. N802CT is also the aircraft I earned my private pilot license in! |
I flew and logged time in 17 different airframes and two aircraft types! I think it's time add additional aircraft types into my logbook!
