I sure hope the weather where you live has been more favorable to flying than here in St. Louis. We’ve had such a mix of wind, ice, and low ceilings that I haven’t been able to fly much at all. This is the time of year I spend a lot of time on the simulator, or taking some online air safety course. I enthusiastically recommend these courses. http://www.aopa.org/asf/online_courses/ They are really excellent, and bonus, they're free. This is a great time to brush up on weather, aerodynamics, airspace, or anything you haven’t thought much about since that written test. While you’re at the computer, take a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8. It kind of reminds me of flying into Chicago airspace during Christmas. How do these guys do this?
Speaking of Christmas, we’ll have the whole family together this year. We’ll take some time off, do a little traveling, visit friends, and exchange some gifts. I pray that you and your families have a very joyous Christmas, and happy New Year. I want to thank you all for the year we’ve had at Gateway Sport Aviation, and the new friends we have made. Don’t worry, the weather will get better, and we’ll be flying again in no time at all. Most importantly, I leave you with this….
Luke 2
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
God bless us all.
