November 22, 201312 yr Fro some strange reason I have always found landing and take offs at night to be somewhat exciting. I guess it's the lights or something. Or maybe it just doesn't take much to thrill an old guy (wink) Milviz Baron, Active Sky 2012, FTXG, FSX SP2 Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
November 22, 201312 yr Dan, I like night flying also. Many years ago, in a Galaxy far, far away, I was building hours while working at the spacecenter in Florida. I would work the 12 day shift so I could fly at night or if I pulled the night shift 7 - 7 for a few months, I would find someone to cover for me and sneak out and fly at night. I would typically fly from TICO to JAX to ORL or TPA to TICO or maybe go the other way and do the TICO FLL MIA TPA ORL TICO. I always liked to check in at the catering shop in Tampa Intl and pick up a free tray of finger sandwiches (first class stuff). I guess the passengers tended to eat less at night, probably sleeping instead. I still remember how tasty those fresh little sandwiches tasted while cruising the Florida skies. If you showed up at the back door, they knew you were a starving pilot in training. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
