5 August 2007 FlightThis morning I took Chris for a one hour flight around the southern portion of the Valley. Grats to Chris for being my first passenger! We started off by flying over our house and doing a nice slow turn around it for Chris to take some photos. Afterward we headed to Casa Grande for Chris to get another look into the giant strip mine, flew from there west to fly along the Sierra Estrella mountains back to South Mountain, back over our house again and then back to Stellar. I made a map of our flight path for all of you to be entertained. :)

Pictures from Chris are online here.

At the end of my 1 hour flight today with Chris I have 60.3 hours of flying time, 16.5 as pilot in command. So, officially, I was a 57.3 hour private pilot (as my checkride was 2 hours long).

I’ve now done the final tally for the cost it took for me to go from 0 to Private Pilot. It’s at the bottom of this post; if you don’t want to see it, don’t click the “read more” text. Yes, it’s painful.
