The weather has been great lately here in Blacksburg. I have been checked out in the club's Cherokee and have been trying to go up as much as possible. My checkout went great, aside from the fact that I was a little rusty on many maneuvers. At the end of the flight, everything was good and pretty much within the PTS. I wouldn't say that is too bad for not flying in almost two months and also never flying a Cherokee before. It was pretty interesting, and the Cherokee flies like a tank.
I have been up once since I was checked out and I pretty much stayed in the pattern here in Blacksburg. I took a few pictures of the campus, but the low wing does not afford too many opportunities to take good shots of the campus.
This weekend I will be going home to PHF for a weekend layover at my parent's house. It will be my first flight over one hundred eighty nautical miles and it will take considerably longer since the Cherokee is no Cessna.
