IFR training and Harriers

First I wanted to note that in the podcast I said this flight was done in September that is not true it was November 2009. 



I flew a plane from Chandler (CHD) to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (IWA) to pick up my instructor then we flew south to Coolidge (P08) did a DME arc on the way out then shot an approach in to Coolidge and one in at Gateway coming back.

Here are some photo of the cool planes on the ground at Gateway.






The red line is CHD to IWA blue is the IFR training and pink is IWA to CHD.

It definitely took a long time to do I started instrument flying about 10 years ago. It wasn’t that I never wanted to get my instrument rating it’s that I ran out of money. I got my private pilots certificate in the fall of 2008 in the spring of the year I got married. I was going to Arizona State with ambitions to become a commercial pilot.
