First Post of 2007

I still haven't been flying this year. In part it is due to my having to travel almost 2 hours to get to the airport with decent rates and quality airplanes. But it has also been due to weather, weather seems to go to pot most weekends, but with Spring here it should get better.

This year I would like to get to more airports and when I get up around 100 hours hook up with the Colorado Pilots Association mountain flying course. In the mean time I'll stay East of the Rockies.

I noticed on one of the Blogs I visit that the pilot has been keeping track of all the airports he has visited. I believe he was up to 31. Thinking back I'm currently at nine as the pilot, two in WY, one in NE, and six in CO, but one of those has closed. I've been to three others in NE and one in Iowa as a passenger in GA aircraft.

Flying goals for 2007:
Visit 10 more airports
Take at least two longer cross countries of 200+ miles
Fly at least 25 hours this Spring/Summer
Take the Colorado Pilot Association Mountain Flying Course this Fall/Winter
