ESS NIGHT FLYING can be spectacular. Stars and perhaps a moon hung above, a mix of towns and city lights spread below-shining up through the darkness-can take your breath away. There's typically less traffic, and therefore less radio chatter. Things seem to settle into a quiet, patient rhythm that allows time to absorb the moment airborne and marvel at the wonder of it all. www.aopa.org/pilot AOPA PILOT | 59http://www.aopa.org/pilot
