To get a night rating in Canada, we have to fly more than 10 hours at night. It was after 9:30PM when I took off with my instructor and started solo flight around 10:15 after dropping him off. It was a full moon night with no winds; the perfect conditions for night flight. I flew around the circuit seeing the moon in the sky and on the sea. I kept flying after the tower closed at 11:00PM. I was flying so long that I forgot how many times I did touch-and-go. Though it was a pleasant flight, the fuel was short and my instructor was waiting at the terminal, I landed finally before the date changed.
