This week was pretty much a "no-fly" week...
Got to fly only Wednesday and Sunday, but the second flight was a wonderous one! Left McCollum Airport (home airport) and climbed to 5,500', then under the control of Atlanta Approach (the Air Traffic Control folks that guide all those airliners into and out of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport every day) flew right across the 4 runways of ATL on my way to an airport South of Atlanta about 40 miles.
It was a crystal clear day with visibilities of upwards of 15 miles or more, and I engaged the autopilot and sat back and watched about 20 or 30 airliners that dwarf my airplane enter the landing and take-off dance around Atlanta each day. It was something to see them so close up in the air...it made me recall just what it was about flying that attracted me and hooked me so all those nearly 40 years ago...
No flying now until Saturday, January 15th, then a couple of times the week after...still trying to polish my skills to the level of a successful Private Pilot applicant. Soon, I hope!
