On Thursday, the CU Flying Club had a BBQ Cookout, complete with cheap flights in a really nice plane!
I decided to take advantage of the flight, and scheduled ahead of time. The plane is the Diamond DA-20 Eclipse. Definitely not the type of trainer plane I'm used to...more reminiscent of a sporty "fighter" than a two-door Cessna! The bubble cockpit, the joystick instead of the yoke, and the tight two-man configuration made this plane really fun!
I haven't flown since September, so this was kind of a scary flight. The instructor, Tracey, was really nice. We did a few maneuvers and flew across Boulder to check out the town and the Flatirons.
