Le sigh.
I had a night flight last night, it was awesome....
I flew south, to Hyannis, which is an airport on the cape. We were originally going to Martha's Vineyard but there were isolated thunderstorms/rain....it was still incredible though.
It was a "solo" flight, but not completely b/c I had a safety pilot with me. Basically, for one hour of the flight I was supposed to be wearing a 'view limiting device' (foggles) so as to create instrument conditions where I would not normally be able to see out the window. However, since I am not instrument rated, it had to be a visual conditions flight. so for an hour, I had the foggles on and the safety pilot watched for traffic.
Anyway....on the way back, we got to fly right over Logan Intl, in the middle of Boston, at 4500 ft...It was great....all the planes were lined up in the gates, and the runway was lit up, and we could see planes flying in below us...
And then to look up and see the Big Dipper right in front of us...it was BEAUTIFUL.
The Big Dipper never looked so big...that is one fucking huge spoon.
