Alright, here are some of my flights today. All of these pictures are taken at my home field, Dillingham Airfield, in Hawaii (It was a particularly rainy day though). First up is our insane local jump-pilot (We share the airfield with two parachuting companies, and one of their pilots insists on a 'Low Pass' in his King Air at least once a week, regardless of what the 'Tower' -Unicom- says) The plane is actually less than 4 feet above the ground, but because of my angle, it looks much higher.
Here are two pictures of my instructors 'Baby', an incredibly rare, and unbeleiveably high performance glider, a 'Fox' (There are only 12 in the United States)
My instructor has already purchased, and plans to affix next month, two Turbo-Jet Engines to the sides of this aircraft! Here is a side view:
Here is my favorite aircraft of the three I train in, a Schweizer SGS2-33A:
Here is me flying (Not quite a solo, I still had an instructor, but he didnt doa nything but throw toilet paper out of the window, I was flying all on my own, including take-off and landing), first the take-off (Towed by a Mercedes Benz sedan!)
And last, the landing (That concrete in the back is part of a world war two hard-stand that housed both bombers, B-24 Liberators and B-17E Flying Fortresses, and fighters, P-40s and P-51s) :
