With the days getting longer and the daylight savings change there has been a nice bump in the number of hours available for flying after work.  It is really nice to see the sun setting later and later each week.

With snow still covering the landscape I take off one evening for a sunset training flight.  After a quick lap around the pattern I head up to 3000 ft and practice some steep turns, then go into slow flight and practice a stall.  After dropping down to 2200 ft I maneuver some s-turns along highway 73 before flying back for three more laps around the pattern as the sun begins to disappear behind the horizon.
