The adhesive mount will have to wait until I have my own plane... I'll see what the tie downs look like. Another nice video, familiar scene there coming into 26R at KCNO. I've been up in the Orange Balloon down near El Toro as well, took my wife on a date there after it first opened.

Nice video, I like the sound effects, especially the one as you lift off. KCHD is on the list of places I will be heading, it's just south of where my parents live and just west of my sisters. What do you use to mount it on the outside, suction cup mount? I see a lot of videos that people have...

I appreciate the feedback. The aim point was the numbers and most of them were fairly close. I missed the centerline on some of them but I am getting closer to hitting it. For awhile the goal was just to get in the vicinity of the centerline (150' wide runways) while I was figuring out...

Yes, the stabilization does make it odd. After I uploaded the video I got a popup from YouTube that it could "smooth out the shaking" so I thought why not? That's the first time I've used it and it wasn't done processing when I shut my computer down last night so this morning is the first chance...

I bought this one and like it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SR20JLS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I didn't wear it as a headlamp while flying, just around my neck and with it on the red setting it was enough glow to read the chart, my flight plan, and the gauges but not...

Actually it is a 'Southern' California thing. This is the only place I've heard the freeway's referred to as 'the' whatever number. When I moved here from Arizona almost 14 years ago I don't recall hearing roads referred to that way there, but when that is all you hear on the news or the traffic...

Long XC Solo http://intothesky.us/2016/08/07/long-xc-controllers-clouds-and-crosswinds/

I have heard AJO referred to as the "Wild West" a few times accounting to the calls or lack there of that take place there. It is a nice little airport and after I get my PPL and a plane I may end up keeping it there. I would love to keep it at CNO, both are about 20-25 min from my house in...

Night flight requirements are complete, and it was fun! http://intothesky.us/2016/08/03/night-xc-tailwind-to-and-a-race-home/

I enjoy the paper maps, but then I grew up as the navigator for our long family trips across the country (PA to AK, UT to NJ, as well as other shorter trips) and that was a long time before anyone even thought of GPS... I'm glad I'm learning at a busy towered field like CNO as well as talking...

Thanks, yes I'm out at DuBois. I looked at all the Orange County schools and also at Corona Muni and settled on DuBois at Chino. I've been very happy with them, well run school, nice planes and lots of them, and my instructor Brandin is great. Looks like Matt isn't there any more. From their...

Some night flying and another XC solo. http://intothesky.us/2016/07/26/night-flight/ http://intothesky.us/2016/07/30/a-hazy-xc/

Initial XC Solo Today!!! http://intothesky.us/2016/07/20/xc-solo/

Yes, I will have to get to the high desert at a later date when I am able to go first thing in the morning.

Cross country number two with some time "under the hood." http://intothesky.us/2016/07/13/foggles/

First cross country (not solo), fun stuff, lessons learned. http://intothesky.us/2016/07/09/x-country-and-checklists/

I am learning at Chino and enjoy talking to the tower. The only time I got really nervous was when we were flying from Riverside to Ontario and my CFI dialed up the radio for KONT, handed me his iPad, and said "figure out where you are and call the tower to ask for touch-n-go's." But, the folks...

My dad grew up in Southern UT. He always told us the reason the named the river the Virgin River was "because she was was always so muddy nobody had ever seen her bottom..." :D
