I made a night hop tonight, for the night currency per Title 14, Part 61 Federal Regulations:

§ 61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command.

(b) Night takeoff and landing experience. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise, unless within the preceding 90 days that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise (...)

The requirement applies only if I were to carry passengers, which is not very likely, but it may happen. Just another excuse to fly, anyway.

Airport is different at night, looking more mysterious. Nightfall is early in October, and traffic around 8 p.m. is still flowing quite well. A Delta jetliner was chasing me down at 3, then cut me off at Charlie. Unfortunately, the vibration did not allow me to snap a decent picture.

UPDATE: But wait, there's more!
