A rare scowl as I climb further up my Everest after school today. I was actually happy, but maybe a full day of teaching teens in May does this to me!! We had rain coming in today and kept one eye on the clouds and wx while we flew across the Mississippi and practiced steep turns and power on stalls over the practice field. The weather started to look a little worse and my instructor decided we better stick to pattern work in case conditions suddenly deteriorated...which they didn't but, I appreciate his constant vigilance to safety. We did some pattern work and with the xwind and then I did one solo to finish the lesson. I hadn't flown solo for in a few weeks and I was really happy to be alone in the air again. My next step is my short solo xc to Perryville next good chance I get.
