IFR flight #10

When transitioning from instruments to the landing pattern at JGG I have always had to shake off the IFR flight style to put on my VFR hat. That was especially hard on the ILS b/c you only have about a minute (~200ft) from eyes-up time to touchdown.
After our first approach we circled back to the left via heading 320 at 2000 feet. A flight of F-15s were supposedly performing a fly-by very close to us, at 1000 feet but we never even saw them (or heard them).
My landings were sub-par today, due in no small part to the fact that I haven't flown in 2.5 weeks. I think that landings are the best maneuver to show just how quickly your skills dwindle with lack of practice.
I was behind the airplane a few times today. It will only get worse when I have to do the radios too (switching b/t Norfolk approach and Newport News tower). Should be interesting. :)
