Default The "darker side" of flying (Night Landings) with ATC COMS -Video

wrote:
Needed to get night current for an IFR flight next week. Since I have
not flown at night for quite some time, figure to give me an
adjustment period as day transitions to night.

Video includes slow flight while waiting for the sun to set, watching
the sunset from 3000 feet and two landings at KJAN.

My next video will have the remainder of my landings back at KMBO.


Did you see the green flash that is reported to happen as the top of the
sun goes below the horizon? I have looked but never seen it. I love
night flying. I do a city tours of downtown Dallas at night. Striking!
ATC puts me at ~ 1900 AGL.
