Dancing with angels
I jumped all over plthijinx's invite to go flying today. Weather postponed us until the afternoon, but when he got the go-ahead I was all over it...
When I got to the airport this baby was all fired up and ready to go. <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight01.jpg"> Yeah right. This is the real taxi: <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight02.jpg"> I like the "No Hold" warning. Just try and stop me! <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight03.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight04.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight05.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight06.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight07.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight08.jpg"> <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight09.jpg"> I gotta tell ya, Fred fools around a lot, but in the air behind the stick he is focused like a laser beam. There aren't too many people I would trust my life with like that. <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Flight10.jpg"> But damn, I'm still waiting on that Bloody Mary! <img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Flight03_21_04/Still%20waiting.jpg"> |

NbN -- outstanding! You get serious points for the multiple images of the prop sweeping past the window. Cool idea!

Headed north-northwest at 110 knots, the plane is level but in a slight decline, altitude just over 3000, visibility 5 miles hazy with scattered clouds?

Awesome pictures!
I have to ask as my airplane jargon is limited to 'roger that' and 'spalsh one bogey', what does the 'no hold' sign refer to? |

Preflight check
The purpose of the preflight check is to make sure all systems of your aircraft are functioning properly, and to make sure you have all needed equipment.
The first part of this video is funny as hell. Listen closely. BIG! 21 mb .wmv file <a href="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/videos/Preflight%20check.wmv">Checklist</a> |

It is an intrinsic part of the IFR instruments. As long as you keep the needle in the circle and the flag says "TO" (that's the red thingie), you are on a radial (a radio beacon, marked on a chart as a line) TO the airport. When the flag flips from "TO" to "FROM", you just passed over the airport beacon and are now on a reciprocal heading AWAY from the airport...turn around to land or make a procedure turn to your next heading (if using the radials to navigate).
That's if I can remember correctly...I have never been IFR rated and only sometimes flew a plane with such instruments. BUT! I have read books on the subject and hangar-flown with other pilots who are instrument rated so I have at least a working idea of what those "other" gauges do. Brian
