Did my first approach in actual IMC. Shot the ILS 35 to KBMG Saturday morning. Reported ceiling was 600, which matched our observations. What a kick in the pants breaking out and seeing the lights. Très cool.
Did you get a video?
Some. I did use the Red Bird this winter when the weather was bad. I also did use Micrsoft Flight Sim X to re-fly a mission I wasn't happy with my performance on in the Red Bird. But mostly I have been training in my own plane, a 1976 Cessna 177B with the original ARC radios: dual NAV/COMs and a single ADF.I'm curious if you've been making use of a PC flight simulator.

No. You'll just have to take my word for it.

I always go into a flight thinking I'll film something with my Ipad but I always forget to until I get on the groundI was starting to think I'm the last person to not video record my flights.
You're definitely not.I was starting to think I'm the last person to not video record my flights.
It always surprised me how quickly you see everything when you break out of the clouds.
To the OP: congrats. I'm not sure whether this was with a CFII or solo (i.e. getting your ticket wet). Either way, it's a great feeling to confirm by experience that all this stuff really works, and that YOU CAN DO IT.
