Kennedy? Yeah, me too.

That's a good attitude to have. I found leaning to fly in the Navy to involve a LOT too much IFR, and that probably ruined me on it forever :) We even flew helos IFR, and THAT'S pretty hair-raising. It just always seemed to me like we had a lot of bad VFR map/landmark pilots after so much IFR time. I know I always had to bone up extra on the maps and GET MY HEAD OUTSIDE!! :) Good luck and have fun with it.

One very hazy marginal condition (but still legally VFR) hurry-up flight to return a rented Piper from Palm Springs over the mountains to San Diego was like that for me late one afternoon. Maybe a touch of spatial disorientation compounded by tremendous glare from the sun through the haze... not one of my more fun flights that ended well only by really concentrating on the instruments and the basics.

What's the problem, no railroads?

L.W.(ßill) Hughes III proclaimed:

Our controller, thou art in tower minimum delay be thy name. Thy vector be done, as will be done, on the airway as it is on paper. Give us this day, our daily delay, and forgive us our altitude variations, as we forgive those who delay vector us, and lead us not into the mountains, but deliver us from the granite, Amen.
