Bolivia

Posted By Josh on May 13, 2011

Well I am back. Been a while sense I have posted here. We had a great time in Bolivia. Now that I am back, I took a refresher flight to Modesto to practice talking to the0 tower. I also brought Mike along for some company. We had a smooth flight there flying at 6000 feet. Flew over Stockton airport and got about 6 miles from Modesto. At this point I was going threw all the things I was suppose to say that I have been practicing for the last 2 days. I get there and call in.

ME: “Modesto Tower, this is Cessna 3852 Sierra about 6 miles North East from the runway requesting to land.”

Radio: “Cessna 3852 Sierra……..”

From that point everything I learned and practiced left my head as I stumbled over my words trying to talk pilot to this nice man in the tower. Thankfully I don’t have to get the words right to keep flying the plane, but still I want to be able to talk more comfortably over the radio over something more than uncontrolled airspace. We had a nice landing and then took off to head back to Columbia Airport. It was a beautiful morning and had some fun over the lake near the airport. Had a safe landing and headed home. Thanks for flying with me Mike.
