2011 Aviation Update
It is that time of year where we look back on all the flights and summarize our stats. I did not meet my goal of flying at least 100 hours this year but I did get quite a bit of experience and had some good adventures. I also explored quite a few new airports in Illinois. In 2012 I’m going to do better at planning destinations and put more hours on the airplane. Here is a summary of 2011:
2011 Hours: 77.1
Total Hours: 484.1 – I was hoping to break 500 hours in 2011 as well but this will now have to wait until 2012
2011 Approximate Mileage: > 6,500 miles
New Airports: 21 – KDEC, KTIP, KMTO, KBMI, KCPS, KHUF, KIKK, KTAZ, KLAF, 1C1, C16, KPUJ, KISM, KCHA, KDNV, KPRG, 3MY, KAAA, KPNT, 50I, 1H2
Notable flights: Flew the family to St. Louis for Spring Break, Multiple trips to MI to see family and also to see the Michigan State-Wisconsin game in October, and the big trip was to Disney World in Florida where we had our summer vacation.
So even though I didn’t fly as much as I would have liked we still got some good use out of the airplane in 2011. I look forward to many more trips in the coming year!
Happy New Year to all of you!
