Flight School: Day 17

Well, I was supposed to do a >250 nm cross country flight to Macon Georgia, but at the last minute the owner of the flight school said I wasn't experienced enough to make the trip. The only reason I need a trip that long is for a commercial license, but you also need 250 hours for that, so I wouldn'tbe saving any money by knocking it out now.

I did, however, do a XC to Wachula, Florida (10 points for anyone who can find it without a search engine), a cool 53 nm over familiar territory, not-so-perfect weather and no skydivers at Lake Whales. I got to see Chalet Susanne, Crooked Lake and the Lake House, and Bok Tower. No crazy Brits on my way back over the Sandpits like on my second solo flight, no VOR glitches, and no botched landings (although they weren't perfect).

Tomorrow is my extended XC to Hernando County and Wachula, and since I've already planned XC's to both locations it shouldn't take long to whip a plan together. I also have a mock checkride with my instructor.
