Woke up to take a flight to ORD early this morning and it was just as the last country I needed for a #Skycards trophy 🏆 was in the air.
Foggy and cold (-1.7C) here at MSN.

Been reading this lately. Definitely a good read for CFIs and PPL applicants.
Pilot Workshops does really good in general so was not shocked they are still doing well with this ACS breakdown.

Finally decided to get custom made hearing protection. Will use them mostly for airshows & dances. Kinda shocked my hearing is not worse after all those airshows and F-35 back in ‘19 causing so much pain.
