I know it isn't always accurate, because it sometimes shows the wrong image or slightly wrong location for an aircraft in the sky. But this time, it was just WAY off. Maybe because the craft flying was military.... I heard a loud helicopter so I went outside, and passing slowly over our house at a pretty low altitude, was a big military chopper. I don't know what kind it was.... It was all-black. ... » Continue Reading

I'm serious about it. I'm just antsy and have no outlet for my energy when I'm not flying, I'm usually just... Walking around in circles and sighing in frustration. That's no exaggeration. I walk around in my front yard for about an hour, stopping to look up whenever I hear a plane or helicopter passing by. Depending on how much I hate myself, I may attempt to join the Air Force in like 5 years (... » Continue Reading

I do feel really bummed out because it is a beautiful day and perfect for flying. But my instructor called and said he can't fly today. We rescheduled for Friday, and I just hope that all of the rain and thunderstorms are gone by then. But I will just keep studying here at home. Actually, I've been having a lot of success with getting my university work done early, and I've been studying my flight... » Continue Reading

It was nice! And cold. There was still some snow up there, so my dad and I took turns throwing snowballs at my mom. But we didn't have gloves on, so our hands started to burn! It was so nice and relaxing up there, but I got pretty tired and sore from walking uphill. Oh yeah, and we saw a coyote on the way back. He was just chilling in a little apple tree grove. I'm flying tomorrow, so I'm going t... » Continue Reading

I like to play this game in my free time. Or just, anytime there's a lot of air traffic really. What you do is, listen for plane engines and then try to guess what kind of plane it is. And then after you guess, check FlightRadar (or FlightAware, or any other air traffic app) and find out if you were right or wrong. It's fun, plus you get to learn how to distinguish the planes from one another. Som... » Continue Reading

.....and..... For the first time ever, I.... Blew chunks. Aghhhhhh!!! We did a lot of... Spinning. Sworling and turning and it got to me. I've never gotten this motion sick before. But we did a lot of maneuvers today. We did this one turn, which my instructor said has actually been used as a combat maneuver to avoid enemy fire. MAN. IT WAS FUN! But boy did my stomach not like it.... It was essenti... » Continue Reading

I don't wanna make this long because I'm really stressed out. My family is struggling financially and I'm losing my mind spending hours doing budgeting trying to cut corners and figure out what I can do. The cost of food has gone up and now we suddenly don't qualify for the monthly money we were getting for groceries. So I'm slicing a whole chunk of my money out to give to my parents, and it's goi... » Continue Reading

That's pretty much it..... Just rain all day. I spent 3 hours budgeting, and I'm gonna have to start selling stuff to scrape together more funds for my flight school. I have enough to get my license, and maybe also enough to get a dual-rating, but uh... After that, I'm gonna be essentially bankrupt. So I'll have to find a higher-paying job or a second job or something like that. I also went to th... » Continue Reading

Yesterday, my fixed-wing instructor texted me saying that today's weather would be bad so we weren't going to fly. So he cancelled our lesson ....Today is a BEAUTIFUL day! No rain, like the forecast said. We literally could have flown today. Aaaaggghhhhh!! But it's still supposed to rain for the next couple of days. Actually, I am gonna be REAL mad if it decides to rain Thursday..... Because I wen... » Continue Reading

Ohh man! So today started out amazingly! On the drive to L.A., there were just randomly three UH60 Blackhawk helicopters flying super low over the freeway for some reason!? FlightRadar didn't show them, but a nearby UH60 on radar belonged to the Navy. I got to see a perfect view of them and got video, it was awesome. So then, we met with my friend! Our moms luckily got along, and then we got to t... » Continue Reading

I'm excited and nervous about tomorrow. I'm going to Los Angeles to meet with a friend I haven't seen since October. We got along super well last time, so I'm sure it'll all be good this time around too. Also going to get a tattoo! Can't wait to show a picture of it tomorrow night. ....I have a history with the city of L.A. I'm... Eager to see it again. After everything. Last time I was there, not... » Continue Reading

I was watching a video about the sound design in Top Gun Maverick, and why they totally deserved the Oscar for best sound. In the video, it talked about that scene where the Darkstar takes off, right over the Admiral, who just stands there motionless as the wind swirls around him and the roof of a nearby building lifts off before crashing back down. That part with the roof coming off was completel... » Continue Reading
