My son had a pilot exam last week, so there was no flying on the agenda. This week they are back in the cockpit, with a new piece of business. Winds were from the north and so the runways were running opposite to what we are used to. So they moved out of the hanger area and immediately began their take off within feet of me, on runway 34 right. This is the same runway they normally use, but it is called 16 left normally and they usually have to taxi for the better part of a mile to get to the beginning of it. Not so in this situation, so I was getting some really nice, different pictures this time. Since this is such an unusual situation, the teacher decides he wants my son to practice this opposite pattern work, so they do an hour of Touch and Goes. I shot many of them and had a nice time doing something just a bit different. Thankfully, the winds were not too strong and they had no real problems. Due to the wind, the valley was, once again, beautiful, which made it even nicer. With luck, next week we will attend the Miramar Air show on Saturday and he will fly on Sunday.
