Gone Flying Two!
After my biennial flight review and renewing my license, I decided it would be less expensive to purchase a plane...so, I bought a 1979 Cessna 152 II. It is exciting learning about the responsibilities of owning an airplane. Here is a link to the Cessna 150-152 Club; and for great plane painting, Flying Kolors Aero Paints. Most importantly, here is Gotta Fly Aviation, where I recently had my annual inspection completed by Larry Lubak.
Below are a few pics of the ole plane before and after a recent flight from Redlands Airport to San Diego's Gillespie Field. As stated on the Gone Flying, Gone Soaring, and Gone Aerobatic links, I earned my license in 1985...El Cajon Flying Club was the FBO.
