I’ve flown 2 flights since I came back. Out of…6 planned. Mostly due to weather. The first flight was a shot at Melbourne ILS, first time I’ve flown to another airport using instruments. The other one was earlier today, a VFR crosscountry to Melbourne, solo. What made this crosscountry flight diffirent was the fact that I did no major planning before, just followed roads and such till I got there. And I saw a bald eagle. Saw him in a bit much detail for my taste, but not too close.

I have another crosscountry tomorrow, and I think I’ll do the same this time. It’ll be my 2nd flight to New Smyrna but shooting the unmistakeable landmark of Highway 95 takes me right there. The bit that worries me is communications though, I need a real headset soon, some things are still blurry to me.

I better go to bed, I plan to get up in 6 hours so I’ll be getting out of bed in about 7.
