Ridgely this morning.......did my H3 spot landings!!!

Post by sailin »

Amy and I got up at the crack of dawn this morning and boogied over to Ridgely so I could try and knock out my H3 spot landings. We arrived a little after 7am and started to set up immediately. We were in a little race against the clock as we needed to get back to northern virginia for an afternoon barbecue.
I was up in the air just after they towed their first tandem of the day and nailed my three spot landings right away. Was super happy to get it done!!! :D Took an enjoyable celebratory sled afterward before packing up and heading home.


Next up is the written test :mrgreen:

Hope you are all having a fun and safe 4th of July!!!!

Took me more than 3 landings to get 3 good ones... Nice job. Hope to fly with you and Amy soon.

Congrats Jon!

Make sure you can read the sectionals and know what the little colored rings around the airspace means.

Since Jon was working on his spot landings, I decided that I would play along too....

I think I need to take this show on the road... I might be able to win some contests or something!!! :-)
