First solo night flight complete
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Yesterday night I had a chance to do my first solo night flight. I just stayed in the circuit and did a ton of touch and go’s. I practiced landing without landing lights, short field takeoff/landings. It was so much fun flying at night. Can’t wait to my next flight! Night rating is coming along!
