From the Cockpit (2015-05)

April was a remarkable month for flying, with 18 hours logged, despite missing the Sun n Fun 2015 due to work. Concerns about declining club membership and the need for more ultralight instructors were discussed. The low salaries of junior pilots remain troubling, highlighting issues within aviation that need addressing.

A New Plane!

I adjusted my budget expectations and learned the importance of realistic pricing and local availability. Insurance proved challenging, but I secured a reasonable quote quickly.
