Fun fact I learned about the Cessna 172 yesterday: the radio's transmitter seems to emit an electromagnetic field that interferes with student pilot brains

"San Carlos Ground, N123SP, uhhhhh"

Got to take my neighbor and her daughter for a little sunset tour around the area tonight. She captured some video of us landing back at the airport. #pilot #aviation #AviationVideo #HackerFlightSchool

PA-28-180 Landing at KETB

Oooh a special #aviation treat today for this VFR #pilot. Got to do a little VFR over-the-top #flying thanks to having the perfect conditions for it.

Sometimes I swear, the arrogance of men on the internet, especially in #aviation circles, is dumbfounding. I dared to share the cost of my plane's first annual (warning, it was a big one) and of course immediately there's people calling me an idiot for paying so much, accusing my mechanics of ripping me off, etc.

So if you are interested in knowing just how expensive #airplane ownership can be or if you're a #pilot and want to hear my saga, here you go. I did what I do and made a video.

My $10K Annual Broke the Internet

Night flying is best #flying. A bit of a warming trend finally gave me the opportunity to re-establish my night currency. Flew down to Rockford and then did some patterns at home to get my necessary takeoffs and landings in. Good for another 90 days!!

Oh happy day!!

It's officially official that I'm official.

10 weeks after passing my check ride I finally have my permanent #pilot certificate. This puts the truest "DONE" stamp on my dream. #HackerFlightSchool is a true success (even though it's not done, onward to instrument training next).

Unexpectedly good weather today gave this #pilot a chance to go do some scenic flying. Flew the #Chicago lakefront flyway down to Gary, Indiana and back. Yeah I know, "Alyssa you hate Gary". It was a convenient place to stop, rest a little and turn around and the FBO at the airport is quite nice!

Another #aviation goal checked off today. It's hard to believe that it is not only legal but their preference for you to fly this low and close to the city. It's days like this that make #HackerFlightSchool so worth the effort and cost!!

Milestone day for me as a #pilot. I got out to fly for a short bit this afternoon and it included landing for the first time at an airport I've been in and out of countless times in my life, KMKE in Milwaukee!!

OK so today started off pretty awful. Thankfully the weather cooperated and I got the chance for some sky therapy this afternoon. Hit a #pilot milestone, #100Hours.
