Night Flight Over Denver

Flown: August 24, 2001
Aircraft: Cessna 182 – N92844
Approximate round trip mileage: 73nm
Approximate flying time: 1:18

You may wonder why this small trip would be included here. A couple reasons. We were all together, and it was the point where I crossed over 500 flight hours. Unlike our first night trip with the kids, they stayed awake for this one. We pretty much flew the identical path that we flew a year prior at night. Unfortunately, it’d turn out to be our last trip before the events of September 11, 2001, which would ground us for a while, at the time we weren’t sure for how long.
