Pre-Flight
Did my first solo cross country last week. 2.7 on the hobbs, two stops. I was right at 31 hours when I did it and it went well. Flew via VORs as waypoints, talked to ATC, used flight following, dodged some traffic via ATC vectors (had one close call as ATC warned me of another plan just as it passed directly under me by about 500 feet). All in all I loved it. Felt like a real pilot for the first time. Also one of the first times flying that I had periods of time with nothing to do but scan for traffic and be amazed by it all. Thank you all for all your help and support.
