Sunday's flight, less than two weeks to my check-ride, maybe the last flight with my CFI before my check-ride. http://intothesky.us/2016/10/02/last-flight-with-my-cfi/

Check Ride Stage Check flight last Saturday. http://intothesky.us/2016/09/24/check-ride-stage-check/

They still are, glad I am doing my training there.

I didn't know about the "holding in sequence" line but will definitely use it. I got bit by this once, busy day and a plane at the hold short line when I pulled out of the run-up area behind him. There was still a couple other planes in the run-up area. I was waiting to hear the tower talk to...

I have to agree with rolivi, Fullerton is nice. One of the dealerships I work at is right around the corner from there. There's a train station right near the airport, lots of hotels down the street due to proximity to Knotts Berry Farm, shopping, just about anything you are looking for.

Congratulations! I kept my shirt too... They have a bent prop on the wall at the school that you sign and date when you solo. I opted for that instead, I liked the shirt I was wearing...

I agree, excellent point. I always think of ATC telling me traffic is 10 miles away as a "Hey, heads up" and I give them a quick "Thanks, looking for that traffic." I would much rather have them tell me far in advance even if I never see the traffic or it is never an issue because the other guy...

Congratulations, thanks for sharing your trip!

The last line says it all, congratulations!

That's funny. I've been looking at planes online for quite awhile to get a feel for the market and pricing in hopes of purchasing around Nov-Jan. I find myself as I'm looking at a plane and it's tail number thinking "Would I really want to say that tail number over and over and over again?"...

Some flights are more work than play. http://intothesky.us/2016/09/03/some-days-are-more-work-and-less-play/

I have a friend that has his Mooney in a T-Hanger there at Corona. He really likes the airport. I've done landings there during the course of my training and I like it, but I also like having the tower at Chino. However, even if I got lucky and could find my way into a hanger at Chino it would...

I think the humidity factor plays into it but someone else may have a better insight. Most of the time it is pretty dry out here.

Yes, there is the marine layer. However from where I'm at in Yorba Linda both CNO and AJO are about 20 minutes away (except during rush hour) so after I get a plane I will keep it at one of those. I would love to have it at CNO but to find a hanger I will probably end up at AJO. The mountains do...

My CFI asked if I was planning on getting my Instrument Rating when I was done with my PPL. I told him maybe in 2-3 years. With most of my flying anticipated here in So Cal with trips to Phoenix, Sacramento, and SLC there are plenty of VFR days to play with and there is nowhere I have to be that...

One of the highlights of the air show there is watching all the old war birds flying laps around the pattern and low passes over the runway. That's a great pic of the P-51. I'll have to see if I can dig up some pics I took at the show a few years back. Flew yesterday with my CFI, the entire...

Trying to get caught up. I flew solo in the pattern again on Sunday and saw some improvement in a few different areas. http://intothesky.us/2016/08/21/more-landing-practice-and-a-milestone/
