Well, I had my first introduction to the wonderful world of instrument approaches yesterday. I love the ILS. It kind of reminds me of those bomb runs they did in that movie "Flight of the Intruder." The VOR approach is cool too seeing as how you can just pretty much turn around to the runway and land (at an uncontrolled field). Now, I may change my mind when I go to do the NDB stuff but for now, I love the ILS and VOR approaches. I need more practice to prefect them but they are still fun. Maybe it helps that I finally found a great instructor. Not that other ones I had in the past were necessarily bad, it's just that I feel more comfortable and confident with this one. My wife even gave a thumbs up as she road in the back seat. That's saying a lot in itself.
Anyway, just wishing I was doing some more approaches today and had to reminisce a little.
By the way...Weather yesterday in CHS was a.w.e.s.o.m.e! A former instructor told me that the weather would probably be great for most of my instrument training seeing as how there were many days that the weather sucked during primary training. Go figure... ya'll have a nice weekend.
