A short nostalgia trip
I just looked back at some of mine...
FIXED WING:
"Short field takeoff on grass!"...a first trip to Derby as a very new PPL.
"TOTAL ECLIPSE TRIP with X"!...11/8/99 to Cornwall, of course.
"DAWN TO DUSK WITH Y"...covering several flights/lines
"Reached 100 hrs P1 at Slieve Bloom mountains"...in Ireland, and I remember the exact point.
HELICOPTER:
"First trip after passing - to see all my friends"...I called it my celebratory cross country; went to the airfields where I knew people.
"With Z - First passenger"
"Landed in A's field and took him for a birthday flight"
"To B and C's house; landed in the garden and took them flying"
"Mountain flying in Snowdonia"
"Helitech with D; he flew back"
"First solo auto!"
"First solo trip in US"
"Climbing over mountains, strong winds"...this was in California
"Along the coast, including LAX transition at 150ft"
"Robinson Factory Tour - flew in to factory"
"Flying down canyons; auto from 8000 ft"
All those in California of course.
"First twin engined turbine helicopter"...in Russia
I don't know if this is the way you're "supposed" to do it - but I enjoy reading them. And yes, I do have the number of takeoffs and landings, type of weather, and other stuff...but I didn't think you'd want all that.
Anyone else want to share theirs?
