Well Kevin I havn't been around for a few months and have missed some
of the episodes of your adventures in the air.

When last I read, you were getting ready for the big solo and I presume
by now the deed has been done.

I soloed 10/21/04 - in the rain.. I'm doing some last minute stuff to
get ready for my checkride. Heading out in about an hour to fly again
today..

Night flying...... Now that would be a gas.

As an arm chair pilot whenever I see night shots on the telly I try to
imagine what it would be like flying anything over a large city at
night with all the lights below.

Yuppers that would be a real gas.

I like night flying. Traffic is usually minimal and controller's
workloads are usually light so they'll let you do more things - i.e.
loiter over my house for several minutes near the approach end at CRQ.
