The Good
In my brief time as a pilot, student and otherwise, I've had one flight that really comes to mind as "ideal." It could also be that whole temporal relevance thing -- It was one week ago today! [Read about it in more detail and see pictures here.]
It was a really great flight. The air was mostly smooth, the visibility was good, I had a good landing at a new airport, and everything went right. An easy, fun, peaceful VFR day flight.
The reason for the flight was ideal, too. To celebrate Husband's birthday, we were taking a day trip to a new destination for our first real $100 hamburger run. Good food, good flight conditions, good company, .... Could it get any better?
The Bad
So what's the opposite of that good day? Oh, dear, hands down -- the solo. I don't even want to rehash it to summarize.
The (Plane) Weird
I don't have much first-hand experience with weird things yet, so here are a few flying-related oddball items out there in internetland:
Old airplane designs
Strange aircraft designs, I'm especially confused by the Blohm und Voss BV 141.
Brave helicopter pilot
Airplane coffin
