#student pilot

Sorry for shitty angle but meh. We see lots of awesome aircraft at my airport because it’s not commercial but still super super busy (busiest in the US I think) and we get a good amount of military people flying through cross country as part of their training.

Today I was flying a C-172 with a 6-pack which i don’t fly as often but still love this thing.

The fuzzy seats are killing me though 😭

My CFI warned me this was he least favorite out of our fleet because it’s extra heavy due to an old AC that dosent even work anymore but everyone’s too lazy to modify it so it’s just the weird plane.

saw some interesting airplanes at an EAA hosted event we flew in to see in our free time a few days ago. All companies there were either nonprofits or glider/pilot associations. All airplanes were built by their pilots and EAA certified (other than the one with paw prints)

Also a vid of one of the tow pilots I’ve flown with maneuvering back to the runway after releasing the glider. (Sorry for horrible quality)

it looks soooo fun I really want to try that but sadly I’m not certified as a tow pilot or acrobatic trained/rated. In the future tho……. It would be better if i could train acrobatics and towing in an airplane I built/bought myself

While I was recording these guys my classmate reminded me to shoot in 4k. I totally forgot I could do that with this camera- so upcoming pics will be better.

Also while I was gone, I got my paws on a canon powershot sx40! Pretty old by tech standards but hey! I'm not turning down a free camera- idk what I'll use it for, maybe some spotting, idk!

Found this lovely sticker and the first thing I thought was "I can put this on my logbook"

Gonna refrain for my flight instructors sanity and the fact that the DPE might not find it funny during my checkride

put your hands together for aviation 👏👏 (says the man who failed science and math in highschool and most likely can't pass a first class medical due to being clinically insane) 😀
