Following a stormy New Year's Eve, the first day of 2023 was gorgeous and begging for a flight. I just had returned from a month in Brazil and was feeling a bit rusty, so I decided to take advantage of the great weather to shave off the rust and went for a San Francisco Bay Tour overflying SFO.

This is a fun stop on the way to Lake Tahoe. There’s nothing there other than an old observatory and a trailhead. But the views are amazing. It’s surrounded by canyons and the approach overflies the highway really close. It must be a sight for the drivers to see the planes landing here.

This was a really beautiful day for flying into South Lake Tahoe Airport. A little challenging because of the summer high density altitude and terrain, but as long as you know what to expect and prepare appropriately, it’s very safe and rewarding.

A piece of a Bay tour transitioning northbound over San Francisco Airport. It's insane that we get to do this. It feels extremely illegal to fly this close to 777s.

Landing at Angwin (2O3) during a Napa Valley tour. This is an amazingly located little strip. It feels like you’re landing in a forest.

This is the second leg of my cross-country flight from Oakland (KOAK) to Yolo County (KDWA) and back to Oakland. For the first part, check ruclips.net/video/P0Ibzvfdgmc/видео.html.

After many circuits, mistakes, and bad landings, I finally did my first solo at Oakland. Still sometimes not using enough right rudder and off the centerline, but getting there.
