My college computer science professor / adviser / good friend Rod, and his wife Anita were in Portland for a business trip. Weather was nice enough to get Rod up for his first helicopter flight.

'nuff said.

With the birth of my son, Addison, I've not been doing much flying recently. But, since he's doing really well, and actually letting us sleep reasonable stretches, I got a chance to go up for a bit of a refresher.

Nothing earth shattering to speak of this time, just a nice morning flight to get back in the saddle again.

ps: Just to be clear, I'm skipping a lot of flights in the blog... not because I'm not in to this anymore, but there is a lot of repetition in training, and you don't really want to read about it. So, when something cool happens, I'll be here to post about it. Commercial training is mostly hour building and fine-tuning your skills. IFR is just going in circles (well, pill shaped paterns) with your eyes closed. Really.
