What goes up…

…must come down. Eventually. Preferably in one piece.

My first foray into the circuit was also my first attempt at landings. Up until this point I’ve been following along on the controls but Bob has definitely been the one “in control”. So after one demo circuit today is was all going to be about me putting it down on the tarmac. As I’ve mentioned previously my local airport is surrounded by water. In the summer it’s also surrounded by sailboats. With very long pointy masts. Right at the end of the runway.
As a sailor, the buoyed off areas at the end of the runways always seemed ridiculously large. As a pilot I don’t want anyone within 10 miles of me.
