En-Route
I know i'm finally back. I got so burned out with training that I didn't want to see anything aviation until I was done. Thank God its finally over. We definitely gotta go fly again one of these days. This past weekend I wanted to do a bay tour and hit KHAF. I studied the charts a bit and came up with a plan B & C if ATC wasn't going to give me what I wanted...All that VFR planning gave me a headache so I just filed IFR Ended up getting a decent bay tour afterall with the vectors I was given.
I flew into HAF on Sunday, VFR over Alcatraz and then over the Golden Gate bridge and around by the cliffs (we hit some moderate to heavy turb along the beach there at 1,500 feet). We came in a little after 9:00 am. Beautiful day for flying. We were under the shelf, so no hassles from ATC. I did get vectored a bunch coming home (lots of bay tour traffic) around 3:00.
