There's a glider club about an hour from here that I have wanted to fly with. They have really nice equipment and are pretty active. The downside is that it's a flatland airport...

I had a business meeting on the airport side of town that ended a good 2.5 hours before time to pick up Dakota from pre-school...so I did what any reasonable sp.com senior member would do, I went flying! :D johnpeace 2005-08-24T08:39:24-10:00 http://www.johnpeace.org/mt/archives/000033.html For the last several months, I have logged about 70 hours of flight time and hardly looked out the windows at all. The great bulk of those hours, I have been either under the hood or in the clouds, staring at the instrument panel and interpreting its information to discern my exact location above the earth. Rewarding as it's been, that training did exactly nothing to prepare me for this outing in the Rockies. Our airplane doesn't even go up to the MEAs published for flight through this area of the country.

I meant, when we began this adventure, to log EVERY flight. I wanted a detailed record of every lesson, every new experience, every moment of learning...I've more or less recorded everything, but...
