Burke Lakefront Airport is my new favorite hangout. After my first flight back in September I never went back because the flight school was out at CGF in Richmond Heights. Then they moved to BKL, which sounded a lot more attractive.

So I've been trying to keep the entries coming in the old logbook...


Yesterday flew the shiny 2006 Diamond DA-20 N373AM from BKL and flew to LNN and back, did 4 takeoffs and landings. They were not what anyone might call "perfect", but any landing I can write about later is good enough for me. Flew back to Burke into the setting sun over a frozen Lake Erie and parked my favorite little plane back at the gate.

I'm going to try to get more photos from the air/airport but at the moment, those are below the priority level compared to the other items on the landing checklist that I'm having enough trouble remembering...

How about a trip to airport 4G8?

I'd love to, but the runway is listed as in "PAVEMENT POOR - WEATHERED" condition, and I don't think my flight school wants me busting up their shiny new planes in what is considered the airman's ghetto.
