Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first? Good? Okay, I flew my solo cross-country flight today. It couldn’t have gone better; I left just a little late, but had no trouble navigating to Kingston. I landed there, refuelled, and got my logbook stamped so I could prove I got there. Twenty minutes later, I started the engine again, and left towards Carp. The wind, which had been against me on the way down, was now making me burn along at 110 knots (127 mph, or 203 kph!). Carp showed up pretty quickly, and I landed to get another stamp. Then one more short hop back to Ottawa, and it was over.
Bad news? The Kingston I flew to wasn’t in Jamaica…yet.
I obviously have some work to do here, since this isn’t showing up above the “Diversions” entry. :( I’ll work on it.
