Tonight I flew down to Olympia with neuro42 to have dinner with corivax and caladri.

It was a lot of fun! Despite having so many pilot friends I've never managed to go flying with them before. It was a pretty nice day, and the Sound really is gorgeous from the air. I'm happy to report that my map-reading skills haven't atrophied since last summer. (And wow, doing it from a plane is so easy it's almost like cheating. Everything looks just like it does on the map! Much easier than comparing the angles between headlands from a canoe, creeping along at 5 kph.) I got some stick time, which was great, but humbling. That is a skill that will take me a while to learn, when I finally get around to getting my license.

So, in conclusion, whee flying!



Hello, Seattle!

Our state capitol building, seen from about 2,000 feet. It was the last impressive state capitol built, before the architectural depths of the 20th century really hit.


Our, uh, mighty steed. Long may it fly!
