Ok, since I did not get an IR lesson in I figured i better get some studies done. The only problem is how much Martha can you stand? I know you guys out there think Martha King is hot…don’t you!
You really can take only so much though. Or how about Rob and Richard at sporty’s! Now that stuff is instant sleep. Pop it in hit the play on the remote, and BAMB you’re out like a light. I wonder though, sometimes it seems like there is just to much to know, how will you ever have all this stuff in your head? Obviously i must know it a little. I already took the written made a 97, not sure how, but i wont argue! The IR training is fun. How cool is it to know that you can takeoff, and navigate to another point without ever seeing the ground, or outside the plane! Then when you get to your dest. you begin your approach. That word just doesn’t do it justice. Lets take a vor approach. Your flying along watching a single needle on a gauge in your panel. Waiting…waiting for the “flag” to flip from a to/from indication. then the little dance begins. note the change, make a turn fly this heading for 1 min, then turn to this heading fly another min make another turn wait for your “needle” to center up again and then start a decent wait for that to/from change again start another descent and start a timer once you reach the new altitude you hope you will see the airport somewhere in front of you. I will say the more i get use to the instrument flying, the more I desire a flying career! Dont get me wrong, a short hop for a hundred dollar hamburger is great! Or what about a lazy Sunday afternoon watching a taildragger flying the pattern at a grass strip! Sometimes vfr flight is fun, but the thrill of mastering the operation of taking this big hunk of metal making it fly precisely from one point to another, and making it fit into a system of other hunks of metal all doing this big dance in the sky. Maybe I’m weird, but it is very cool stuff…to me
