It was a beautiful afternoon in New Hampshire today. My instructor and I walked out to the ramp ready to do some final patternwork before he signed me off. I was happy because the Mooney M20J I got today was N20JX, the best one in the fleet. Newest, a beautiful paint job with burgundy and gold strips and a white top, nice avionics and leather seats. Excellent condition in general.
We did 3 landings in the pattern and a go-around on one of them. He was happy with them, and so was I. We walked inside and he signed my logbook and off I went!
I did one time around in the pattern and on climbout just as I was turning crosswind at 1000', I really got rocked and that was it. There was only a Baron that took off in front of me, but I guess I hit their wake perfectly. I was surprised at how much it upset my plane though.
The landing I did was PERFECT. I wish someone was in the plane with me to experience it! But, my instructor and a few of my roomates were watching so that's okay!
Now it's onto the "Comlex Aircraft Integration Check", but only after a 1 hour solo flight. I think I'm going to have fun tomorrow morning with that!
