So I did some pattern work today, and two interesting things happened. Number one, I saw how much smoke a house fire can produce, which is a lot. Circled the fire (while staying out of the smoke) to see that the porch and some of the roof was already gone.
Also had to exit the pattern once because there was an incoming traffic that was on a five mile final and I couldn't see him, so I exited the pattern and re-entered at the left downwind. Didn't want to turn into final and have my back to the traffic.
Luckily traffic never became a problem in that situation and I think I made the right call. Anyways, here's two pictures of the house fire.
Happy 4th everyone!
