Hmm, no diary, unfortunately. Lots of pictures, a few of them are on-line, but my firewall at work won't let me access them so I can't get you the URL right now. I'll try to post the URL at the weekend.

I had a fantastic time hour-building, though. At least party due to trying to do as many different things as possible. Managed to do the following:
  • Tail-wheel checkout
  • Complex checkout
  • 10-hour aerobatics course
  • 5 hours of dual multi-engine time. (No point getting the rating yet, because I can't afford to keep it current.)
  • Night qualification
  • IMC rating
  • Flew over some really beautiful scenery in SW USA
  • A couple of long cross-country trips to visit interesting tourist spots for a few of nights
  • Entered the Pooleys Dawn to Dusk competition, and came 3rd
  • Lots of other stuff!
If I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing. Except that I'd go somewhere other than the USA (Canada or S.A would be my top choices), simply because I did my CPL in the USA, and it would be nice to have had a chance to have flown in yet another country.
