A long time ago in a far away place. I soloed twice from San Carlos to Halfmoon bay.
I was a member of the United Airlines 747 club out at SFO. So close but so far

It was a blast though, I have thought about taking it up again but money and new requirements always put's it off.

The club was great, we got to climb inside of 747 engine and such.

I was 17 years old.

I used to fly out of Andrews Air Force Base in D.C before 911. You can't do that any more. I could tell some stories and maybe will sometime.

The guy I flew with was a friend who was also a certified flight instructor. We split the costs and it was a great deal for both of us. He got to fly a lot cheaper than if he was paying the whole bill himself. I got to fly and got free instruction besides. I got a lot of hours in but never soloed. I could take off and land but I was definitely not ready to solo.

He ended up moving to Washington State and that was the end of my flying.

Good times .

Awe......I still think it was pretty good .............that was only the first or second one you did right?

[jeffpn]

That was the one I did after doing Doug's step by step Edge. My first model.

A lot of us probably have pretty fond memories of those Cessnas. I flew 152s, 172s, and a 177 RG. Most of my time was in 172s.

Here's some more progress on the interior rendered with a bit of dramatic lighting. The last picture has the rudder pedals and their texture.
