Cessna 152: N4938P
hobbs time: 2.3 (approx 6pm->8:30pm)
Flew from OAK to APC (Napa) for T&Gs - started with the tower (before 8pm) and after that - one or two rounds with the CTAF.
Did most of the radio/comm work, but Jeff jumped in there when they didn't hear me etc...
Approx 4 T&Gs (me flying) at APC, with a tendancy for a long base having to line-up final a little. Also: still a tendency to flare/roundout early - should wait until ground effect for flare, and roundout into the ground-effect.
The landing at OAK was awesome! Crabbed a little for a slight crosswind, but didn't attempt to Crab/Slip the landing so we touched down to the side of the centerline. Nice flare, no major jolt on the touchdown - cool...
The views today were awesome again - very strange / funny to see SF, "I can see my house from here!", when it's actually soo small. Somehow, the combo of being ~2-3 thousand feet, plus all the way in Napa, is much more distance than I imagined. The city looks like a satellite photo on a slant.
