Line Up and Wait
Went up Sunday late morning as the clouds were breaking right at 3000 feet. Instructor told me to poke a hole through the blue sky and get above the clouds so we could cover some slow flight/stalls and general skills check.
I never realized how such a little thing as getting on top of a broken cloud layer sort of reinvigorates the whole training experience and breaks the whole repetitive monotony of pattern work and perfecting PTS standards.
It was also the first time flying in Texas that I got to see the bluebonnet blooms from 4000 feet, the patches look like little ponds all over the place and having been in a severe drought here in Texas the past 2 years, it was odd seeing everything so green.. I forgot I was flying in a place that all the sudden didn't feel so familiar!
anyway, fun times. It was a nice new perspective this past weekend and it made me forget the bills, scheduling hassles and poor weather killing my training we had been experiencing a bit here. The pattern work with 30knot winds EVERY time I went up was draining!
