The US Open is here!
I just wanted to check in, and add a little chaff. My flight lessons at PAVCO are progressing nicely. I have accumulated around 15 hours now - all dual, no solo yet. I ordered the King Schools Sport Pilot home study course, which comes highly recommended. Now the fun. Our little airport here at Tacoma Narrows has been experiencing a media crush. The US Open (Golf!) is here this week. Wow - the planes! The Limos! Tiger Woods sightings! The camera drones and TFR (on the other side of the water at Chambers Bay). It has been good practice sharing the pattern and taxiways with bigger, faster jet planes. Our little 1 runway airport doesn't get much of that. Yesterday, we went over to Shelton, to practice crash and dash on the 5,000 ft uncontrolled airport. Bonus - The Goodyear blimp was watching the whole process. What a gas seeing that up there, waving to the crew in the gondola, chatting on CTAF. Since we were covering a variety of landing configurations, including stalls on approach, power-off, no flaps, etc. I'm sure they were thoroughly entertained! This flying thing is fun! Everybody should try it! BTW, I see the rental finder map doesn't list PAVCO, who rents and trains LSA (Sport Pilot) through multi-engine ATP, so I'll try to add that.

Awesome! Thanks for the update. I've flown into Augusta for the Masters three times and it never gets old.HAPPYDAN wrote:I just wanted to check in, and add a little chaff.
