the first cross country
so i was fortunate enough to make it back safely from my first "cross country" flight this week. and when i say cross country...i really mean flgith somwhere other than the southern half of utah valley. i made it all the way to whopping delta, ut, a meager 50 miles one way. the airport there is quite the place though. lots smaller than provo, both area and runway width. it was quite interesting as we made it down there and began our descent. the runway looked so small but i thought maybe we were a little higher than usual. nope, the runway was sooo small, like half the width of provo. plus a little bit of a crosswind added to that and it wasn't the funnest or prettiest landing i've ever had. but, on the plus side, much better than the landing i had on wednesday when i didn't even flare at all and landed on all three wheels. ooops. but that's ok, it's gotten better. anyways, we made it all the way home and now i'm an experienced cross country pilot. yeah baby. maybe we'll go all the way to ogden soon.
