From the Logbook...Training Continued...

On Tuesday we got off to a slow start due to mechanical reasons and then a gusher of a thunderstorm.  You would never know from looking at the clear skies above that just a few hours before the heavens opened up and let forth their power.  We were able to accomplish some flying in the late afternoon however, which was a lot of fun.

Yesterday our objective was lots of takeoff and landing practice as well as emergency procedures.  We were practicing an a VERY large river near PLR so when lunch time came around we just taxied to the middle of the river, shut off the engine, and floated lazily downstream for about 25 minutes while my instructor and I enjoyed our PB&J's while sitting on the float.  Fun times!
