Solo Crosscountry
I made my solo crosscountry flight last Saturday, the 20th. I flew from Easterwoord (KCLL) to Madisonville (51R) and then up to Palestine (KPSN).
It was quite hazy at altitude. Spent 3 hours up total, because I forgot my logbook at PSN and had to fly back for it when I was about 15nm south of the airport. I made most of my marks (was flying ded reckoning and visual landmarks), although I drifted a bit further west than I intended on the return flight, and flew over Coulter when they were about to drop skydivers.
I decided that in aircraft that support it, radio navigation is definitely the way I prefer to go. Or GPS, for that matter.
