After a crazy summer, I finally accomplished one of my goals – I took a friend on a sightseeing flight. The flight was awesome from start to finish (so I guess that means it’s all downhill from here?).

* Probably not $19,808.22. Anyway, in this video, I definitely do not go flying.

By the filming of this video, I’d already passed the flight exam, so all I needed was a bit of hood time (the footage was boring), and a couple of hours of solo cross-country (this). My 360 cam died shortly after liftoff, so here’s a time lapse of the entire flight, until I was about to turn base at the end (because the GoPro battery died). …also, fly like I say, not like I fly.

After four straight days of prep flights, do I pass my PPL checkride? (Either way, and in spite of what I said in the video, there were still other things I had to finish before actually getting my PPL…)

Did some circuits on a windy day. It was a whole thing.

This video’s short because most of my flight audio was messed up. (You’re welcome?) Anyway, I go under the hood (technically: sticker), to get the instrument time I need for my (hopefully) forthcoming PPL!
