I took a slight detour over Mountain Creek lake.

I hadn't been flying in about 6 weeks or so. My first objective was just to go out and practice some landings to make sure the cobwebs are cleared out, but some friends wanted to meet up over at Dallas Executive airport for their pancake breakfast, so I hopped over there for a bit.

The video is sped up to double speed to make it a bit more interesting.
