Mar 22

I went flying with my friend danny today(he is also a pilot).  We did a VFR flight to vero beach and back.  The whole way there and back I flew under the hood to get more instrument time. I also handled the radios while danny looked outside for traffic.  Nothing too exciting about this trip except that I got to land at an airport I've never been to before. Weather was good which allowed for a very smooth trip.

march 10

today i am using my time to catch up on make-up work that i have accumulated  over the last couple weeks.

march 9

i helped my dad set up his new office at ft lauderdale executive airport (KFXE).  His old one was at the same airport but only had one room, this new one was offered to him for about the same monthly rent and had two rooms, one for him and one for me.  This summer i plan to work with him and help him out so this new extra room is really a dream come true for me because now i dont have to be stuck in the same room with him all day :p .  I cannot wait to start working for his business because i will meet so many new people in the aviation business and hopefully i can meet a potential employer for me. :)

March 4

I took my friends flying after school just to show them how much fun it is. We did a local flight, I took them down the beach and turned around at the lighthouse on biscayne bay, also by the lighthouse is "stiltsville" where there are only a few houses left. I'm guessing the others were destroyed by the hurricanes. But anyways it was a good flight except for the fact tht it was pretty windy but they enjoyed it and I got more time flying.

March 3

My instructor and I did another instrument flight to the Labelle airport on the west coast of florida.  Nothing new on this flight, our goal is for me to just build more time flying by only instruments. And I only have 35 more hours to go :(.  I'm planning on flying to new york soon with my dad so I can knock out those instrument hours in a couple flight but I don't know when I'm going to have time for that yet.

Correction:  I flew this flight on Wednesday March 2.
