Flight time!

Hey!
Well, friday night i finally got my night unaided flight. it was a good flight; we went off the fort sill and flew around the cities around here. it was amazingly dark. the moon was not out at all that night so we had 0% illumination we were flying about 2000 ft and we couldn't see anything below us that wasn't lit up. i was happy because I finally progressed in my flight training to RL-2.
yesterday we did an RL-2 level flight. it was all terrain flight things flying under 200 ft above the ground. we did a nap of the earth route, which is less than 25 ft above the ground. that was really cool.
Tonight i have my first NVG (night vision goggles) flight. it should be really cool. i will let you know all about it!
hope everyone is doing well at home. Happy mothers day!
Signing off
