St. Gallen/Altenrhein (LSZR/ACH)

Work

Don't know but it'll probably be a T/R.

...flying related goal?

Buy a 50-hour block on C172 somewhere on the East Coast of the US and fly to
the West Coast and back. No A/P, no Glass. Yeah.

Paying off my Dad's Christmas present of a $100 hamburger.

I'd like to start on my IR, but money is always an issue...

Get in 50 hours this year. I'm off to a really slow start and I doubt
it will happen.

We're in the best part of our flying weather during the winter (cold
dry air makes a happy airplane!) It's been mid-50s and mostly dry and
clear. Soon the tempuratures will rise, and the winds will pick up and
then comes the thunder storms.

...flying destination?

Spring break is coming up quickly, and we'll be flying to
Fredericksburg, Texas to check out the only other aviation-themed
hotel (that I know of), the Hangar Hotel. I hear they've done some
remarkable things there, and Mary and I want to see how they do it.

Unless, of course, the usual springtime line of persistent T-storms is
draped between here and there. Then, we'll go....wherever the weather
looks best!

...rating you'll work on?

Instrument....someday, I'll finish that up.

...flying related goal?

To fly to California, and up the West Coast. We've done it in a car,
did it on a motorcycle....GOTTA do it in the plane.

Winter? mid-50's? *sigh* it's 12 degrees here. How I'd love to be able
to say that it's mid-winter with temps in the mid 50's.

Now THAT sounds fun! If Tami and I can ever get two consecutive weeks off
during the summer that would be a great trip!

Where in northwestern lower MI? I did my multi and my CFII at Traverse
City. Examiner was a great guy. I had a wonderful time.

lower Michigan without one...it's been a long, cloudy winter.

Nah, take the left half. That way if the two partners are flying, you get
to be PIC! g

...flying related goal?

Take my three boys on a month-long flying vacation across the US or up
into
Canada. Given that the youngest is only two, this most likely won't happen
for at least four more years.

Three kids?? Me too. My youngest is 2 months so I'll be a couple of years
behind you. I'd love to take a trip with them to Oshkosh but there's no way
their patience will hold up anytime soon.
