What was your fondest flying memory of 2024?

Now that the year is (almost) over: what moment in your flying year do you look back on with the fondest memory?

Mine was probably during my FI(A) - EASA CFI equivalent - training. Started up the aircraft on the ramp, sun shining through a few small cumuli, called ground for taxi… And they asked us whether we could accept Special VFR because the „field is IMC“. Instructor and I looked up through the canopy, chuckled and told them that yes, we were indeed fine with it. By the time we reached the runway, they revised our clearance and formally informed us that we could leave VFR. Apart from being slightly funny, it was also a very nice moment with my instructor, who was a very chill dude and awesome instructor all around.

Always happy landings in 2025 and beyond!
