I flew with a new instructor, Steven, tonight as Chris had a conflict. We flew out of PDK which was busy as usual. I nailed the S-turns. Turns about a point were good, though I did bust the speeds a few times; I still need practice on the turns about a point. We did some short field landings at McCollum airport. I hit all but the first one.
Back at PDK, I got to see for the first time a Diamond 42 Twin Star. Advanced Aviation has a DA-40 (see Thanksgiving post), but I've never seen a 42 up close until tonight. If the DA-40 is the DA-20's big brother, the DA-42 is the hi speed, low drag uncle you never see except on special family reunions who shows you kung-fu moves in the yard while everybody else is inside eating potato salad and telling baby stories.

Love the uncle Gary reference. Did you know he was actually our cousin? I can't believe my brother knows how to fly planes!

Ummm. I don't know why my dance company name is posting instead of mine. Oh well! xo
His bo-staff skillz promoted him to uncle in my mind.
