150 hours and grass airstrip

Today I broke a 150 flight hours. It's weird to think that this time last year I had none. I have been flying a new airplane with a tail wheel. It has two big wheels up front and a little one it the back. Tailwheel airplanes handle a little bit different and so we need a special endorsement to be able to fly them.
The airplane we are training in was used by MAF in Indonesia for many years. Today was also the first time for me to land on a grass strip. It was cool to use a missionary airplane to land into an airstrip similar to what you would see on the mission field.

The trees you see on both sides of the runway are about 30 feet high.
