Through the Eyes of a Wombat

After my first flight at night, on August 7th, 2004 (one thousand and six days ago), I finally completed my Night VFR rating this evening.
Flying at night is just like flying during the day - except you cannot see very much out the windows. Its the finding your way around the countryside that gets a little trickier at night. Still, the normal principles of heading and time work well, though I did manage to misidentify a certain coastal town...

Tonights flight was interesting, flown under a cloudbase of 3000 foot, but a lowest safe of only 2500. But it's done, and now I have a Night VFR rating!
