Flyin' in SLC

Well I finally went flying again yesterday after three months of being on the ground. Alison has a student who ownes a 2004 Cessna Skyhawk SP and lets her borrow it for only the price of gas. Not bad. We took up her dad out of Salt Lake International and tooled around in a nearby mountain valley. It was really nice to fly again. I've decided that flying for a company is no fun at all, but weekend general aviation with the family is great. Here's some pictures:

Shot of the panel in the 172 we were flying; notice the all the terrain and water on the Multi Function Display (colorful TV lookin' thing). Yeah, we're not flying in Grand Forks anymore. There's stuff to run into here.














The required husband and wife shot with the airplane. Ah, aren't we adorable...
















Another required husband and wife shot. Yes, my glasses are turned up on purpose...they hurt under my headset...
