since i finally got my camera. not to many of us seem to know what our living spaces seem to be like, or what other states look like, an Zhag likes to post random pictures, and i challenged her to my ariel photos, i decided to start this thread. i also have a video im in teh process of editing so its actually slightly entertaining, and isnt long and useless. its a departure and landing done by yours truly on his second solo flight. i solo again tommorrow and out in the practice filed not just in the pattern like today. so i will be able to get more better pics. and daytime stuff.. maybe even a few pics over my town. my house? lol. who knows. but heres what i got so far for yas...
my complex instrument panel... right.... lol

let us fly... very nice

taxi time

upwind leg

industrial area by us... meh...

downwind leg

i swear im not under the influence... but i am trying to fly and take a pic of myself. lol

 

a few more. some scenic sunsets at 1500MSL or 820ft AGL



and behind me is yes... the sun again

 

Wahoo!!! Now aren't you special!

 

Like Ice Cube says......"Man you lucky"

 

what are you, some kinda pimp!?

cool pics

 

haha... yeah. it was fun. ill sneek in some more tommorow. i finally edited my video. notihn action packed, but still entertaining imo. i waited for photobucket to upload it for over an hour... yeah in screwed my in the butt. now im waiting for you tube to upload it. its goin much faster. so pray for it.... PRAY!!!

 

Sweeet!






Rod.

 

Cool pics dude!!

 

well then... turns out photobucket did upload it.. i dont know.. now all you guys are over with this thread and wont see it lol. here is the clip anyways. its like 3 minutes long almost exactly...

 

alright!!ya done good. cool sunsets!

 

man, I wish I had the money to start flight training...

 

well.. about 15 years ago i think it was only sometihng like 14 dollars an hour. lol. now its ridiculous. for my flight today solo... 0.9 hours was 84 dollars. standard of 94 dollars and hour plus flight instructor pay when i go dual. its a kick in the *****. in the past 6 months i think ive spent about 7grand in flight...

 

1977 cessna 152 i believe. those things fly themselves.

 

78 lol... i here the pipers dont stall.. the cesna is a turd when coordinating a turning stall though. the damn turn coordinator is a liar, you keep it in the center it dips a wing and stalls trying to spin.

 

i'll bet you that plane was built in '77. and that it has a lycoming 0-235 series engine.

 

meh. my POH is for a 78. i didnt check the planes.. i could look at the registration and what not.... but wont have the manufacturing date im sure.... meh, who knows. my instructor has a 68 152 POH sooo... w/e no big. i was practicing my shorts and softs. soft field take off's are fun as hell... 10 degrees of flaps full back you ride out a wheelie lol and get into ground affect then level off in ground affect at near stall speed fly level a few feet off the ground til you gain speed and pull it and you just shoot up in the air. much fun.

EDIT: and i wish i had my camera the day before this, i watched a gulfstream jet take off, it was intense, those engines scream. what kind are they? not rolls royce are they? cause i know those turbines are screamers.... but they throttled up thing just launched and then climbed out like crazy, leaving a nice little exhaust stream behind it. beautiful jet.

 

go get your multi turbine rating.

 

will do. later. haha. no schools even have turbine planes. im sone what jealous western michingan just got a whole new line of cirrus planes for training. haha... we got 2 cessna 152's down here. one plane was sitting and running the other was taxing past it and ran the wing over the spinning prop of the other. screwed up the wing spare on the one, the other is getting a complete engine overhaul. if you ask me, we should just get a new type of plane. but meh. i really wish we had more low wing planes. instead we gots our 152's 172's 182RG's and one piper seminole... yeesh. nice planes, but im gonna get soo sick of the high wing thing soon. so i can get my private instrument complex commercial high performance and multi. no turbine stuff though... sigh

EDIT: and i looked it up, the gulfstreams do have rolls-royce engines... score one for eric

 

a few more...
the plane

the instruments

the scenery


and my manuevers... steep turns heres the bank attitude

 

that's pretty much amazing...makes me wanna get my flying liscence.

 

so much money... but so worth it. lol

 

That's not steep (Yeah, I've been flying Falcon 4.0 waaaay too much ).

Basic single engine license costs less that a used motorcycle. Rotory license is what I want.... now that's gonna cost a fortune.

 

LOL.... they let you fly with those eyes?



J/K...... awesome pics btw.

 

rotary. that would be cool. im not into it much. i want to work on commercia license. we get to do chandelles as a manuever. and those eyes. lol. i looked that way on purpose. but thanks.

 

you could DEF pull a pearl harbor move and show a girl the sunset from in the sky....then you might actually be able to avoid getting rejected for once.
