After two previous cancellations due to xwind, I took my friend for a night
flight over Reno last night.
Thunderstorms from earlier moved over the sierra.
Wind was extremetly calm, no bumps.
Good moon, but lots of cloud cover.

Beautiful flight into Reno from Minden and finished it off with a perfect
landing.
Asked Clearance if we could do some sightseeing around downtown before
departing for Minden.
The casinos are pretty cool at night, all lit up.
As a bonus (unforntunate, but still pretty cool to see) there was a big
wildfire west of Reno in Verdi.
That was pretty cool to see from the air at night.

After circling the casinos a couple of times, we headed back to Minden.
Did a couple full stop landings (to stay current) and called it a night.

All in all, I REALLY enjoy night flying. It is really relaxing for some
reason.

Sounds pretty cool! Unfortunatly I haven't flown at night in quite some
time (not even close to being current for passengers). One of these days
I will get up there...I just dont like the idea of not really being able
to see the ground ;-)
