Starting the Pre-Flight Check-List With My Instructor Colin.
She Doesn't Look Mighty But...
... the List of Pre-Flight Checks Is VERY Thorough.
Colin Was Patient With Me As...
... We Completed Each Step On The List. The Checks Include Tasks Both Inside The Cabin And...
... On The Exterior of the Plane.
Checking to Make Sure There is No Damage to the Tail.
Up and Down and Up and Down.
Checking the Quality of the Fuel.
Beginning the Inspection of the Front of the Plane.
Checking the Operation of the Elevators on Both Sides of the Plane.
Inside the Plane to Begin the Pre-Flight Checks.
As The Checks Continued I Was Glad...
... Colin Knew What He's Doing!
Use The Check List EVERY Time!
Colin Pulled Us Out of Our Spot, And...
... I Taxied The Plane Out to the Runway And TOOK OFF!
We Cleared The Fence Without Issue.
Anita Rode Along To Enjoy The Beautiful Day And...
We Flew Between 2,500 and 3,300 Feet.
I Don't Recall Our Airspeed (Oops).
We Could See For Miles and Miles and Miles and Miles!
I Piloted The Plane From The Clermont County Airport...
... Just South of Kings Island!
Colin Took Over As We Rounded Kings Island.
It Looks So Small From 3,000 Feet!
The Park Was Not Open During the Week.
Anita Got a Bunch of Shots of Kings Island.
Do You See Your Favorite Ride or Attraction?
It Was More Difficult to Identify Landmarks From The Air Than I Anticipated.
Guess It Gets Easier With Repitition.
I Enjoyed The Ride Back as Colin Piloted The Plane.
We Were Tracking a Helicopter That Was Headed to the Clermont Airport.
Colin Was Willing to Fly Over The House on the Way Back to the Airport.

Securing Her Back in Place.
