Cross Country #1 : Clemson

5/10/2009

Cross country #1 is complete. We flew out to Clemson, SC. Navigation without GPS is during the day is all about lakes and roads. Inevitably, I drifted off course a bit but recognized it and got back on course with the help of my instructor. Lakes are a great landmark to use during daytime navigation.

We had lunch at mellow mushroom, downtown Clemson. We used GPS for the return trip. I love me some GPS. Flying out somewhere, taking the courtesy vehicle into town, grabbing a bite to eat, wishing you could have a beer but not having, and flying back. That's what aviation is all about. Good times.
