For a day where the soaring forecast was ‘fair’, it turned out pretty well. Two and a half hours soaring above Mount Palomar, and a sunset flight back to El Monte

I now need to find all those online profiles where I have described myself as an "inactive" pilot and remove the word "inactive" from them. After a hiatus of a dozen years, I just passed both the ground and air work portions of a flight review, and once again have a current "license to learn."

It was a beautiful day for #flying in southern California. Visibility was at least 90 miles, and I managed to squeeze nearly 2 hours out of a few thermals near Warner Springs before making a stop at Santa Catalina Island on the way home.
