As some of you may know, I got my license last year, and have been taking it *very* easy on my flights. Sticking close to areas I know, staying well within my limits, only doing 1-2 hour flights each way. This summer, I'm going to go on my longest flight yet. 560 nm from KPAO to S03 and back: http://skyvector.com/?ll=37.5615615....K2.MXW:V.K2.RBL:A.K2.KRDD:A.K2.KSIY:A.K1.S03
My plan is to fly up in the morning of June 21, hang out, and fly back the next morning.
I'll be renting a Cessna 172 SP for the occasion.
The last weather predictions I saw are looking good, and I'll be doing a planning session on Wednesday to make sure I have all the equipment and information I need to do it right.
It looks pretty easy, simple terrain, plenty of landmarks, good weather, nothing too exciting. A nice small step up from my $100 hamburger runs to Harris Ranch and Clearlake.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Mount Shasta from the air. I'm sure it'll be spectacular.
Wish me clear skies! (and any suggestions or advice are welcome, of course!)
