Time to get back into it....

Two weeks before I'm back home. It's been 6-months since I've been at the controls of an airplane... Any suggestions for what I should do besides my passenger and instrument currency? Any fun flying games you guys have? I've done the toilet paper clipping with the wings before... Looking for some new ones!

Thanks guys!

Somehow, I have never done the TP clipping, I plan on fixing that this spring! How about a balloon pop? Have someone release it from the ground and try to get it!

Ooo, I like that one! Perhaps find the local outdoor birthday parties in my area and enter into a holding pattern over head..

Six months is a long time. Get an instructor and complete a flight review/IPC. Beyond that, sign up for Social Flight and get notified on all the interesting flying events happening around you.

Thanks, I agree with you completely... That's what deployments do to you.

Home to FAI? You lucky dog, I have fond memories of riding my Suzuki trials bike up Moose Creek Bluff in the snow. The good ole days.

Anyone try the, "Hover like a hawk"? I saw it on AOPA Live a few months back...

Interesting, that link took me straight to the apple store and an iPad app.

Welcome back.

People may laugh, but FSX and Xplane on my home PC helped me a bunch when I was getting back into flying.

Anyone who's ever flown a C-150 in a headwind. LOL.

That's a good one! I watched a C130 the other day takeoff into a 30-35kt headwind straight down the RWY... Could have sworn he rotated in 1000 feet..
