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: Practicing Down in Corvallis

After that local night flight I did the last time I went flying, I decided to return to Corvallis today with plenty of daylight to spare so I can get some landing practice when I can actually see outside!

Doing some daytime flying in N5174E for the first time in a while...

After the usual pre-flight, I got airborne and headed down to Corvallis. After picking up the weather from the AWOS frequency, I entered the left downwind for Runway 17. I did two standard touch-and-go landings followed by a full-stop with a taxi-back via the parallel taxiway. I did my standard departure off 17 and departed from the downwind back Northeast to Albany, where I touched down to call it another flight.

After topping off the fuel tanks, I taxied the Cessna 172 back to my uncle's hangar and put the plane away before heading home.
