Let\u2019s go flying!<\/h3>\n
\u00a0Well, after playing around for a while with the Flight Simulator, my friends Gerold & Stefan introduced me 2002 to the real thing.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

What could be nicer than flying along Manhattan, what is more challenging than learning to fly in one of the busiest airspaces worldwide: New York?<\/p>\n

Here are\u00a0some pictures<\/a>\u00a0about flying in New York and the Bahamas.<\/p>\n

Videos<\/h4>\n

Links to flight videos of my friends Stefan, Rainer and me:<\/p>\n

My first landings in Morristown, NJ<\/strong> (January, 19th 2003):
\nRainer was courageous enough to sit in the back and to tape them. Very amusing, especially the rough landing #2! To see the videos double-click on the Icon<\/p>\n

Harbor Island, Bahamas<\/h3>\n

Stefan joined us with a Piper Warrior in the Bahamas! The trip took him three and a half days from New York. Rainer, Uschi and I made a trip around ‘the Cays’ and flew to Norman’s Kay (place where\u00a0Carlos Lehder<\/a>, accomplice of Pablo Escobar, had his hide-out for a while). Very little Island, a short and relatively narrow runway but very impressive! See also at the\u00a0Picture section<\/a>!<\/p>\n

On the way to the License<\/h3>\n

And then there was the day: May, 18th 2003: My first cross country solo<\/strong> flight with a Cessna Skyhawk N54838 from Teterboro, New Jersey to Sullivan County International in Upstate New York!\"msv\"<\/a>
\nMy friends Rainer, Stefan and Miriam surprised me there and took these takes –\u00a0Two calls and two pics:<\/p>\n

Check Ride<\/h3>\n

After quite a while (64.2 hrs flight time 134 t\/o and landings in 13 month) I made my check ride<\/a> in Teterboro, New Jersey on June, 8th 2003.<\/p>\n

After my check ride for the Private Pilot License here is my ‘Maiden Flight’ with Petra as my first passenger and the third flight with Stefan (\u00a9\u00a0Rainer Fehringer<\/a>):<\/p>\n

On a more somber note<\/h3>\n

One plane I flew in my flying school was a relativelz new Cessna 172. I enjoyed buyying around with it a couple of time around Manhattan, but one year later it crashed on Coney Island. Here is the story<\/a> as I experienced it.<\/p>\n

Different kinds of Flying<\/h3>\n

…and finally to set it into the right proportion:

Still love it going up, once in a while with my friend Sven in Bremen, Germany for spin with his Cirrus SR22<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
