My Little Darlin is a Firecracker

Happy July everyone. The 4th is so much better out here in the country where you can blow up fireworks and shoot guns and nobody cares. We had a blast out at the Bronson’s Farm (an hour southwest of town). He owns enough land that you can’t even see half of it from the house (and North Dakota is flatter than Texas). We ate steak (my expertise) and ribs and played ultimate Frisbee until it got dark. Finally at around 9:45 it got dark enough to start the fireworks but we didn’t start the big ones until 10:30 because it doesn’t get dark until then. We had a lot of fun and decided to start saving money now for next year cause it was a blast. I have my second solo flight on Friday morning. I am very excited. It is so much easier by myself than with an instructor hovering over you all the time. I should be finished by August 10th or so. I am ready for it to be over however so I can start flying helicopters. I finally picked the helicopter that I want to fly. It won’t be for a while because it is a special ops (delta force for army aviation) helicopter that the “Nightstalkers” (aviation special ops) flight. It is the AH-6 little bird. It is old but amazing. You can find out about it at Wikipedia.com. Well I will fill you in later about my progress!!!
