Thanks guys. It's been alot of work. Funny thing, I probably have 6 or 7 hundred hours in the right seat, all before I was 10 years old. I could never see outside much, so all of my references were by instrument. The result?
I can fly great by instrument reference. As soon as I look outside, it don't go so well.
My CFI caught on a couple of weeks ago. "How come all your x-country stuff is in the desert, or the Sierras?". He knows where the lakebed is now, Stoddard, Calico, Shredder, DV, etc. We did a series of emergency landing approaches over the lakebed...
Notice the drawing on the shirt he did? Ya baby, 30's on a C-172. Soft field.
I'm working on getting to know the guy that has the private airstrip right off the 247, a few miles from Boone Rd. Ran into him at Apple Valley. I'm thinking park the tow rig and trailer there, and get op privileges.
1 hour verses 4+ is lookin pretty good.
I'm thinking about an A&P. I'll probably do tailwheel first so I can get into good short and soft field aircraft (think "lakebed"...), then complex, and hi perf, multi, and IR.
Looking at M20J's for my primary missions, but C-310Q's may be the ticket in the future. Of course, with the Commander, I could pretend to be Bob Hoover.

Careful on those lakebeds! Sometimes they look harder packed than they are! Had to rescue my buddy that decided to try it.....
Congrats on the solo. It must feel great!

It looks like he had an equipment issue. If he had trimmed the wheel pants and put 13' MTR's on, it might have turned out better.
Thanks! It's like making Backdoor for the first time X10. I never knew I could sweat like that just sitting in a seat.
