Instrument Rated! .I flew the test today with steam gauges and no autopilot - and got several real world hold orbits for landing jet traffic :P. Hand flying that was challenging! .Too tired to share more details now - but thanks to everyone who helped with this journey!

I'd already scrubbed my plan to fly across souther Ontario today - the forecasts are messy and uncertain - and then Mark confirms he's head out for a storm chase day, which validated my decision 🤓.
Ok, a quick tour before I head out. @MitsubishiCAN @weathernetwork #onstorm Also, there is a slight risk of tornadoes NW of the GTA today.
