Time: 1.2 hr
Landings: 4

Remarks:

With Tom Richards

Comments:
After months without wings, it was great to get back in the air with Tom.
N60614 is no longer available for rent, so I was glad to hear that Tom had made arrangements for N8584B.

This 172 is a little older vintage, and I was able to experience manual flaps for the first time. There is a part of me that prefers manual over electric. Just seems like I can 'feel' the flaps more in this plane.

I had forgotten how big a 172 was in comparison with the 150.

This is the first time I have flown OUT of LLU. I've landed here of course, but it is nice to fly so close to the house (~2 miles).
