Pilot Gear
When Martin and I met, he was pretty quick to whip out his little black book. Unlike most guys, his little book had not a single phone number or reference to any girls. The only numbers were records like flight hours and technical details of his flights. Yep. Martin’s little black book was a pilot’s log book.
…and now guess what I’ve got now that I’m learning to fly! After I left you all a great list of possibilities to pick from for my first aviation gear – from leather jackets to parachutes – you can probably guess now that I got my hands on my own log book.
Log book not shown… too busy flying, maybe?
Pilots describe their flying experiences two ways: (1) the number of hours they’ve logged, and (2) the type of certifications they’ve earned (like multi-engine or certified flight instructor). There aren’t a whole lot of numbers in my book yet, and I’m still learning to talk the talk. And now you can, too. Ask a pilot how many hours he has.
Did you all have a lovely weekend?

I kind of had a feeling that is what it really was. Next comes the hat, though, right? I bet you’d look cute in it!

That’s so awesome that your sticking with it – hopefully you’re not getting quite so air-sick anymore?
We had a great weekend – hope you did too!

Hi Katie, You’re just too young to have known The Platters’ music. It’s classic/iconic. I hope you check them out. I love reading the posts about your flying. Did you see last Monday’s post I wrote about when my dad took me flying?

What a cute picture!! My neighbor is a pilot for Delta. If I ever see him, I’ll ask! Thanks for the update!

What a cute picture! I admire your learning to fly, I am finally getting over of my fear of flying and don’t think I would ever want to fly the plane myself!

How’s the motion sickness? I suffer from it pretty bad, and I’m hoping to do infant transport in a helicopter some day, so I sure hope that it’s conquerable. :)
My favorite pilot gear are the flexible binder rings. I don’t use them for flying of course, but they are the handiest things for students!

Are they available anywhere else? Maybe in COLORS???
