Hey everyone!

It's been a few weeks since I posted anything...been SUPER busy instructing lately. We've been having incredible weather here in the Northeast...clear and a million VFR days and really IFR-training-friendly low-level deep stratus without icing. I did a LONG cross-country with Finer Points member AlexKU internationally up into Canada (which is a Podcast unto itself) two weeks ago...anyways...

I found this really cool video. For any IFR candidates who have been told "You'll never have to hold for real"...watch this:

Starving,

That was awesome! Very cool video.

We've been having spectacular weather out west too ... gotta love the fall.

Happy Flying ... and tailwinds

Jason

yea thats a goodie. weather here has been pretty good too, come to think of it. i got about 3 hrs of actual last week in a student RV-7A and have also had some really nice VFR days with my primary students. but the iceman cometh so thatll probably be all she wrote for actual for a while.
