Another day at the airportSince I have some time-off for the next few weeks before staring my new exiting job, I took advantage of today’s great weather to spend some time flying around, just for the heck of flying. I took off KEDU (UC Davis airport called University airport) using runway 17 then I made a 90 right-turn to the west and climb to 4500ft. The climb to cruising altitude was really smooth, thanks to the temperature inversion. However the downside of a temperature inversion is bad to poor visibility of such air masses. After few minutes I was overflying Winters and decided to head north for a little while. No other aircrafts were around me and the radio was quiet. Perfect! After some time, I headed back to Davis and started my descent while turning over Winters. I overflew KEDU at 1600ft then descended a bit to 1400ft to stay underneath SMF airspace. After few moments of flying south Davis, I overflew the city to take some photos of downtown Davis. Not easy to fly with one hand and take pictures with the other. As usual I had a great time. I can’t get enough of that!
