About Me and My Blog
- Eric
- I am nearly 65 and nearly retired. Still don't know what I am going to be when I grow up. I have three blogs. The first as a student pilot at age 59 (erico49.blogspot.com). I had always wanted to fly, but for one reason or another I had never been able to pull it off. The second documents my experience with the Topsy Turvy updside down planter that was advertised on TV (erico492.blogspot.com). And my current project--a redwood slab (redwoodart.blogspot.com).

que sera sera
No solo yesterday. My flying was not quite "on." By the end I was doing great again, but the week and a half off showed at that start. A really crappy day at work didn't help. CFI likes to do 2 or 3 landings. Then a couple solo. I wasn't ready until about 5 or 6. Pilots like to stick to patterns...and will tell you that when they deviate, things always go awry. We were out of his pattern. After the first couple, I knew it wasn't in the cards. My son, Alex, was standing there when we got done, hoping I had made it. Very nice of him. He said he watched my approach and landing from the end of the runway. Very cool. Hopefully next week. I know I can do this when the time is right.
