Long Time, No Flying

Wow, it's been a long time since I blogged. Coincidentally, it's also been a long time since I've last sat at the controls of an aircraft. :-( But for me, as I think for many private pilots, the winter season is the "low" season for flying. While you'd think that with an instrument rating, I could venture "out and about" during the winter, it's just not always so. The aircraft I fly lack anti-icing or de-icing equipment, and the nearby mountains around Seattle are justly called the Cascade Ice Machine. And then, there's the winter sports in the Pacific Northwest. I'm an avid skier, and going skiing on a weekend means no flying that weekend. On top of all that, I was busy renovating and moving into my new condo in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle.

But, now that's done. The winter season is almost over. I've already been hitting Microsoft Flight Simulator X to brush up on instrument procedures. Time to go back to the airport, refamiliarize myself with the aircraft, do some landings, and start working (yet again, this time for real) on that commercial ticket! (Milen, BTW, is far ahead of me - he's now a commercial pilot for single and multi-engine -- congrats, Milen!)

PS: wow, what happens to an unmaintained blog. The number of inappropriate comments had me deleting them for a good 5-10 minutes. As a result, I've made it so that only registered Blogger users can comment. Sorry for any inconvenience... :-(
