December 17 flight plans anyone?

Is anyone planning on celebrating the 100th anniversary by going out and
flying on 12/17? Going anywhere special or simply converting cash into
lift? So long as it's a VFR day here in the CA central valley, I'm
planning
on leaving work a couple hours early and going flying. Nowhere special,
just planning on enjoying a chance to fly.

The Museum Of Flight (the Seattle one) has organized a 120-plane parade of
local pilots from Boeing Field. I plan to be a spotter on a friend's plane.
That's if the weather cooperates: go decision will be at 9am.

We have three flying clubs getting together for a formation flight over
the Okanagan Valley, BC Canada. Anyone wishing to join in should be at
the Kelowna Flying Club building at Kelowna Airport before 1030 hrs.

Not even going to be flying,,, it falls on my lesson day, but I'll be on the
Frasca Sim for my instrument lesson practicing DME arcs (since none of my
FBO's Cessna's have DME). I WILL be flying on my birthday, the following
week (December 24th) so I will be celebrating my 4th 'anniversary' of taking
my first lesson, ever (I'll be turning 43 and I took my introductory
flight/first lesson on my 39th birthday).

Have fun!

Where are you? I'm at Davis, near Sacto.

I might try to get off early from work...or, if it's a bit windy and
thus clear, might do a night flight.

LHM, just up the road from you.

so long as it's a VFR day in the Bay Area and the central valley, I'm
planning on taking my PPL check ride.

That's a great way to mark the day!!!

The central valley was beautiful tonight... flew to Harris ranch for a
good piece of beef.

Declaring it a school holiday? I hope you offer up a report on the day to your
social studies teacher and maybe a brief history of the technology of aircraft
over the past 100 years to your science teacher. They would be impressed and
maybe let you teach a lesson on it to the other kids.

There's nothing like a little extra pressure, eh?

When I started my lessons last January, I thought it might be a cool thing
if my checkride happened to fall on December 17th. It's probably for the
better that my progress was a bit faster than that, and I ended up taking
the checkride in August.
