First of all, except for the first thirty minutes on the flight down, the rest of that flight and the flight back consisted of nothing but terribly annoying turbulence. It was just tossing me in all different directions. I almost got sick a couple times. It sucked. Here is some video I took of Summersville Lake. Notice that the camera is bouncing around a lot. That's NOT my terrible filming skills.
Also, all the scenery was the reason I chose this flight. Unfortuenatly, it was all difficult to make out due to snow. This flight is actually much longer than what is required, so it costs a little extra overall. I figured it would be worth it for the views. It wasn't. The only good part was the New River Gorge, which I took some video of:
If I could go back, I would do this flight somewhere quicker to get it over with faster. Maybe Parkersburg, or Wheeling. My landing at Beckley sucked, I had a quartering headwind of 9 knots gusting to 17.
I feel like I wasted more money than I needed to on this flight. It was a bad choice. At least now I'm ready for my Stage 2 Check, which hopefully I will do next week sometime before Christmas Break.
