Lots of Flying

The past 30 days have been keeping my writing hand occupied with making logbook entries. I have a new private student and a new instrument student that have been keeping me busy for several days during the week and weekends. Plus I've had to reacquaint myself with the C172S and the C172S with the G1000. Seems that timing is everything and when my then potential new student asked about training with me, I was interested in the opportunity but still needed to find an airplane to train in. I was fortunate to find a local flight school that allowed me to come on board as a part time instructor. Interestingly, a few recent flights have been in and around rain showers and I've seen numerous rainbows and during a solo flight in the G1000 I swore that I flew right through a rainbow since the colors seemed to pass right through the cockpit. Not sure if the rainbow is an allegoric or metaphoric symbol, but sure is nice to have the opportunity to pass on some flying knowledge and bring another pilot or two into the dwindling pilot population.

On another topic, I'm really liking the ForeFlight app for the iPad. With version 4, they've added digital A/FD pages and improved performance. All I need now is a decent knee board for the tablet to make it more accessible in the cockpit.
