Next time I will wait until 15 minutes AFTER the scheduled flight to see if the weather clears up. I am still trying to get used to the Florida weather from a pilot's perspective here. Remember that just because you earned your private pilot license that does not mean you stop learning how to be an amateur meteorologist.

You can find me on Odysee.

In case anyone asks:

1. The GoPro Hero7 doesn't give me the ultrawide format so I had to put in the still image of the aircraft I flew that day as filler. Cropping the footage is out of the question as it makes the image a little weird for me to look at.

2. I need to get myself an audio adapter to record my mic directly. The David Clark headset does support Bluetooth but it doesn't record the ATC audio, the audio can only be recorded on my phone, and I have to manually sync the .wav file separately when I get home which is a chore.

3. The aircraft is a Cessna 172M with a STOL kit installed.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Pardon the late the videos. I'm dumping all of the videos that I was supposed to upload here that were already uploaded in other platforms.

This video was recorded on the 18th of January.

Skip to 15:13 if you want to see the GoPro footage in action.

I hope you like my new intro. I think I nailed it with this one especially with my divine avali that I personally textured.
