December 17 flight plans anyone?

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.

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.

I am going to be in the air over Rockford IL at 10:35 doing touch and goes!

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.

Going to give rides to the mobilized national guard troops in the Huey. I am
looking forward to it.

Nothing like turning Jet Fuel into noise.

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.

Is anyone planning on celebrating the 100th anniversary by going out and
flying on 12/17?

Every pilot should try to be flying that day.

Mary and I will be airborne, heading whichever way the weather permits. If
it's marginal, we'll just work the pattern once or twice -- but if it's
nice, we'll hopefully be off to someplace with a good brunch!

I've got a 172 booked Wednesday morning; wx permitting my brother, his
girlfriend & I will to a short local flight - her first time in a small
plane.

One cool thing the Club is doing is certificates. Everyone who flies at
the Club on the 17th (not just the pilots) gets a nice-looking "I Helped
Celebrate 100 Years of Aviation" certificate that the Club's had made up,
all signed by our Chief Flying Instructor & our President.

Now, let's all hope for good VMC on the 17th!

It looks like a cold rainy day on Wed. here, but if it's not raining
too hard, and there's no ice in the lower altitudes I'm planning to go
out and shoot a couple of approaches.
