20120417 Shuttle Discovery

I was able to take some time away from the office to stake out a spot at Udvar-Hazy to see the arrival of the space shuttle Discovery. This definitely qualifies as a "once in a lifetime" event. These are just a few of the pictures I took: More

20120318 Departing KJYO

This is my departure from Leesburg, VA for a couple hours of IFR proficiency. It had been a few months since I'd been able to line up schedule, weather, and plan availability to go flying, so I felt a little rusty. This video captures clearance delivery

20110822 Landing KSMQ

This video captures my landing in Somverville, NJ (Somerset Airport, KSMQ). This was a bit more challenging than the video reveals. An interior view would have captured the dancing controls to deal with the wind swirling over the nearby trees. Weather:

20110730 Departing KACY

This video captures clearance delivery, taxi, and departure from Atlantic City, NJ (KACY). Most of it is routine, but there is a "what would you do" moment in the run-up area. When I switched to the tower frequency I heard the end of the previous

20110729 ILS 13 KACY

This is my approach into Atlantic City, NJ (KACY). The controller gave me a "slam dunk" which put me in an interesting position. One of my passengers was experiencing her first flight in a small plane and I wanted to take care in the descent,

"Liberty Belle" Destroyed

One of barely a couple handfuls of flying B-17s remaining in the world burned after an off-airport landing . I was able to tour this plane back in 2005. Sadly, a piece of flying aviation history has been lost forever.

Funny Approach Fixes

OK, here's a good one. Check out the RNAV (GPS) RWY 01 approach into Pensacola, FL . Don't forget to check the hold waypoint. :)

20101104 GPS 17 KJYO

This the second proficiency approach (this one to landing) of the day. Again, ceilings weren't too low, but I was still able to get some training in actual conditions. Weather: 32007KT 10SM OVC025 10/08 A2953

20101104 ILS 32 KOKV

This is a proficiency approach into Winchester, VA. I had to cancel a planned flight to Blacksburg, VA due to the icing forecast, but I was at least able to get up locally where there wasn't any ice. Ceilings weren't very low, but there's

20101019 Departing KTRI

Departing Bristol/Tri-Cities (KTRI). Captures clearance delivery, request and use of progressive taxi (again, as simple as it was). A couple notes on this departure... First, I'm not accustomed to flying out of commercial airports - especially at

20100724 Landing KJYO

This is the end of the third approach of the day (GPS 17 KJYO ). I know, I know. I have so many landings at my home field posted, but this landing was too smooth to pass up. :) Weather: 28006G15KT 10SM CLR 36/21 A2997
