Kristin and I went up in a Cessna 152 for the fourth of July. As I commented to her after the flight, "We only spent $150 on that for both of us -- we got off cheap!" She replied, "Yeah, my neighbor must have spent $200-300 easily on fireworks..."
As you can see, the view was pretty good:
The flight is from Paine Field in Everett, down to Seattle, back and forth over Ballard, Fremont and Wallingford, then back to Everett. If you listen carefully at the end, you can hear me say, "That was a terrible landing!" It wasn't that bad, but I flared higher than I'd wanted to, which resulted in a fair bump rather than a nice slick roll. Oh well. It's one of the perils of night landings, although interestingly not one I've ever suffered from before.
Enjoy! (No, the sound never gets more interesting. I may re-cut it later with music.)
