Flying the Diamond DA-20 Eclipse (Photo's inside)

Post by flyboy4612 »

Inbetween going to college, work, and of course flying on the PC, I'm working on becoming a real world pilot. A few weeks ago I made my final training cross country flight. It was a little over a hundred miles to my destination and the first time I have ever gotten to fly solo out of the state. It was a blast talking with Seattle Center and getting on radar. Anyway, I wanted to share a few of my pictures from the trip with you all. I also want to thank A2A Simulations for their great stuff. Your aiplanes plus my saitek X52 sitck/throttle and rudder pedals have improved my skill in the DA-20.

Oh and a lot of my friend ask me about the flaps, yes I left them down in these pictures.

Hey, beautiful pics of Mt. Hood! I'm in the same boat you are...going to college, saving money for flight lessons. I haven't started any yet, but that's all going to change in the near future =P What airport are you based at?
