My First Soft Field Landing

9/7/08

So, After flying with my friend Emery in his baron yesterday, we decided to go flying again today just for the fun of it. We went to a private landing strip "Dillard" on the Houston Texas Sectional. His Fiance Jacklyn went with us this time.

Emery hadn't done a soft field landing in his baron, so it was a first for both of us. The field was kind of difficult to find at first, but when we found it, we went on in and landed. It was a really neat trip, and I really enjoyed landing there. We stayed and visited for awhile, and then we left. Emery did a good job of taking off on that grass strip.

It was a really neat place to go, and I reccomend you go visit if you get the chance. The airfield is commonly known as Critters Lodge and they are having their annual fly-in on September 26-28 2008. For more information on that visit: www.critterslodge.org
