"Hold On..."

Today, just one day removed from my previous flight, I took to the friendly skies once again. I did the exact same thing today, practiced holding patterns. For those curious, I have attached a Youtube video here to clarify exactly what is "going on" here.


Yesterday, as you saw in my "Tracklog," the wind blew me away from the VOR quite a bit, and I found that I needed a LOT of wind correction. Today, the wind was much calmer, but I still needed to fly "into the wind" a bit to compensate. The holding patterns from today look a lot more "ovate" and racetrack-pattern like, which is good!
