I reached 100.0 hrs (notice the reading on the screen) on the HOBBS on Sept. 13th, 2014...three days under six months since the first flight! Wow, that is far and away the most flying I have ever done in a six month period and I gotta say I like it. Its been a whole lot of fun and I keep pinching myself, wondering if this new life is real.
The second half of the year will most likely be something less than 100 hrs. Sandwiched in the first 100 hrs was my 40 hr flyoff period that I cruised through in no time. Although I would fly 500 hrs a year if my budget allowed, I figure 150 hrs/year should be about right for now.
During this particular weekend, Sheryl and I headed south to Pueblo, CO for breakfast at the Spitfire grill and then hopped over to Lamar, CO to say hi to some of my acro friends who were having an IAC contest. From there, we headed home, showered and drove to an Octoberfest hangar party that my acro instructor, Dagmar, was having at Centennial airport. What a great aviation weekend!
I am due for a 100 hr inspection, which I plan to get pretty detailed with since its my first. More details on this when I do it...I find its hard to take the plane down to do inspections these days.
