Flight Training Lesson 16

Today we’re going to class again… this time Class B, Cincinnati International, for a touch and go. Sadly I forgot to start my audio recording this time, but check out the video in the blog of Elizabeth flying the Fox to the Dayton Pilot’s Club BBQ.

Flight Training Lesson 15 – The $100 cookie

Today we made another stop on the controlled airspace Whistle Stop Tour… today it was Dayton International’s turn in the barrel.
