I can do it all by myself!

So, yesterday, I soloed in the airplane! I went up with the instructor for about an hour. After that, I dropped him off and took the plane back up solo and did three landings. Thing seem to be easier when there isn't an instructor in there with you. Tragically, I have no pictures of said solo event, only because it's difficult to take pictures when you should be flying an airplane.

So, I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving. I did not make it to Chicago to see the birth of my goddaughter, Camille. Leave issues. I did however spend the weekend with someone I met online and her family down in Corpus Christi. It was nice to be with a family, at least.

I hope all continues to be well with all of you!

This one is not of me, just someone very special.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Camille Louise Brown, my brand new niece and goddaughter


She likes to sleep, I guess.

Even when she is with her daddy....
But at least her big sister is giving her lots of love!

The surprise at last....well, ok, just some pictures.

Well, I hope that I got you all waiting in anticipation for what I am about to show you. So, here it goes.

This is me:



I am flying an airplane.


This is what the airplane looks like. It is a Cessna 172



In case you can't read it, I am flying at 1600 feet above sea level.


And here are a few shots of the ground from that altitude.


Well, those are my pictures from learning how to fly. I should have one or two more things coming up that will be semi-exciting to exciting to look at. Stay Tuned!
