Requesting flyby.
Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.
At our pre-flight briefing.
Today was my first time in a small aircraft. We arrived at Renton Municipal Airport in the morning. Weather was looking good.
^We were supposed to be in the Cessna 172SP (on the right) but wound up in the non-SP model (on the left).
By the time flight check was complete, it was getting cloudy. We had to delay the flight by a few hours.
Not the smoothest panoramic shot, but here’s Seattle from 1500-ft.
We also had cell phone reception. Hooray VFR!
