Frolfing

I spotted the Conocido disc golf course that Sara and I frequent from the sky today.  It actually has grass! We put Isaac in his stroller and walk the entire course.  Lately, we've let him get out near the last couple holes and kick the soccer ball around or throw the disc into the basket.  Last week we ran into some avid drone pilots.  They build their own drones and use a camera headset to fly them.  They can go up to 80-90 mph.  Yikes!  One pilot said his drone accidentally wound up in the disc golf basket one day.  Maybe a hobby I'll consider when I pay off the rest of my debt from learning to fly airplanes...

One of the things I really like about being a CFI at Westwind in Phoenix is that they have their Cessnas equipped with the G1000.  So much prettier than the round gauges I learned on, as you can see.  Obviously round gauges were more difficult to learn on.  The G1000 just has so much information available.  You practically have to try to lose your situational awareness; whereas, you have to work really hard to know where you are at all times when flying under the hood.  I do appreciate that I learned without it though!
