Solo 15: My 1.0 of Hobbs time with "35V"

Total Time: 60.3
PIC time logged this flight: 1.0
Landings: 191

Cessna 35V is a great looking aircraft on the outside, with an interior that looks like a very angry bear got trapped inside. It has a funky radio system that emits a howling feedback type squeal anytime the user pushes on the PTT (push to talk) switch. After I switched my headset jacks to the AUX inputs it worked better, but I had lost the intercom functionality. This was not an issue, since I was flying solo.

I launched into a very hazy atmosphere and planned to head west out to the practice area. I turned around after about 10 miles, it was just too murky.

Arrived back in the pattern at Mettetal, and flew three circuits. The weather conditions degraded further and so I parked 35V for the day.

I think I will stick to 00Q from here on out, I like the feel of that ol' bird the best.

On a side note, my checkride is scheduled for the middle of August!
