Had me 5th lesson today, with storms coming in later in the afternoon we flew earlier in the day. Did a few "If the engine quit where would you put it?" questions. But mostly it was a small cross-country flight, real IFR, I followed rivers ;D. So I following the river for 27 miles down from Rock Hill KUZA to Lancaster KLRK. I did two touch and goes at KLRK, then headed for my home town which was 17 miles from Lancaster, so I flew down the river until it got to the Duke Power Dam, then picked out the road that lead to my house. From then on it became I follow roads flying. After over flying my house I head for the highway, and followed it back up to Rock Hill. Then did two more touch and goes before calling it a day. :) Another 1.2 hours in the logbook.

My mom took them and she can [glow=yellow,2,300]NOT[/glow] use a camera so they are pretty bad. :P

Hey Ravang, cool man, PPL training is great fun eh?  What do you mean by "real IFR"?  Or were you joking and I just didn't get it.  Were you on a VFR or IFR flight plan?

"IFR" as in "I Follow Rivers", aka "I Follow Roads".  ;)
