I just purchased this Dakota beauty the day before and planned to fly it back home to NJ on Christmas day. The weather looked good for #VFR, which is my current ratings. Rosy and I began flying from Houston (#KTME) in the morning with clear skies. However, about 1.5 hours into the flight, I ran into an #IMC for a 12 heart-stopping seconds where I couldn't see anything.

What saved me and my honey was the fact that I trained with Captain Doron (best CFII ever) for many hours in real #IFR conditions, flying a few times to Alabama and Canada, and the IFR lessons I received while attaining my #PPL with Danny from 2bapilot school.

Getting caught in my first #IMC without another pilot onboard, however, was different. Fortunately, my training kicked in and we survived this adventure.
