Brushing up the Basics

I hadn't performed many of the basic flying tasks from the checkride since my training ended. I also wanted to see what the ops were like our of Leesburg. Very nice airport, with a comfy office space for Aviation Adventures.

Flying out of Leesburg, we followed the local terrain out to the Culpepper region. I performed slow flight, power off stalls and a few steep turns. My dad was unphased by the whole thing. I also did a pair of landings at Cullpepper airport. One was awful, one was solid. We saw a nice open cockpit bi-plane while we there. With the sun getting low, we trucked our way back to Leesburg for one last landing. All in all, not too shabby.
