Grounded!

I got a call today that the venerable 6521J needed some work done on her fuel system, so no steep turns today. West Valley Flying Club does not really have that many Cessna 172's. I thought about trying out a different type of aircraft, but I kind of don't want to confuse myself right now. I tried turning really hard in my car a few times, but...scary...

So I went to the airport store to try on headsets. Kevin recommends David Clark and Lightspeed, Tim (former coworker and pilot) recommends Lightspeed and Telex. So I'm looking at the Lightspeeds. They look good; the big question is whether to get active noise reduction (ANR) or not. Currently I'm leaning toward "yes" because I think it's important to protect my hearing. I wonder if I can somehow rig my in-ear monitors for this purpose...but then with the left one cutting out, maybe not the best idea...

I am definitely psyched for the next flight. Probably Tuesday, but possibly Saturday if I decide to try a different plane (Messieur Javert...wow, if anyone gets that, I'll be really impressed!).
