Flying Cross-Country

Hello fellow aviation and music enthusiasts! I hope everyone is doing well. I sadly have not been flying much recently due to the weather up here in Nebraska. I hadn’t flown in almost two weeks due to the winds, but that dry spell ended yesterday. Yesterday, my instructor and I flew a short cross-country flight from Council Bluffs (KCBF) to Lincoln (KLNK). We decided to fly this trip to get my mind off of landings. I’ve been struggling with flaring the airplane since the first day. I’m looking at the deer at the end of the runway but I just need more practice. On the cross country, I did do two landings at council bluffs, a touch and go and a full stop. The cross-country taught me about flight planning, flight followings, and using visual references to help guide yourself to the destination. Also, the departure out of lincoln was a blast since we got to fly over Memorial Stadium, where the Huskers play. I inserted a photo below of the view from my seat of the stadium and downtown Lincoln, but I was not texting and flying! And in music news, I joined the pep band at my university, which is a small group that plays at basketball games, hockey games, and volleyball games. It has been so much fun to play my trumpet in a band again and I have a blast at every game. Thank you all for your endless support and I am honored to be apart of such a supportive community. I hope you all have a great week and rock (your wings) on.
