Weren't you supposed to go today?

What about CDK? I did DAB-CTY- (used to have pigs that drank beer there, I think they might be bacon now)-CDK-DAB. Cedar Key is a fun flight!

eh, the Double Jeremy's are a bunch of punks! who cares what they think?

i was supposed to go today, but the clouds had a different idea. of course, around 1pm today, it was freakin' blue skies and sunny. go figure. but keep the good ideas coming!!! this might have to take place thursday since NASA and the FAA won't let ANYONE fly in florida tomorrow....

Clouds???If you fly 500 feet offshore and stay away from the boats you can fly at 50 feet. Clouds--no problem man.

this isn't me telling you that my CFI peruses this board every once in a while, and he has a cattle prod. every time i suggest something like that, i get a shock, so it's best i not reply. sorry! it's a cool idea, though.

CDK is nice. Go there, cuz I wanna know if the surge from Dennis did any damage.

Swice, you still instructing? I'm gonna need a commercial instructor this fall...who do you think Wassmer would recommend?

Yeah, I'm still instructing. I have a couple of interviews later this month, but I might instruct and teach one more year. Call Wass and see what he says. He starts class on the 28th of this month. If I'm around I'd be happy to work on the commercial with you.

I was perusing with him. He's never been to CDK but I'm sure he would sign you off to go there.

Come to KC and Ill buy you dinner and beers. Plenty of flat land to practice emergency landings.

I second the St. Simons idea..grab the suburban and get some good food. Then maybe JAX and back.

CDK would be a great place to practice it....

I know its a solo cross country and all, but bring a squeeze and take a night in one of the B&Bs. The FAA will understand that you did it for love.

Or better yet go to Southbeach and find a couple of new "squeezes."

 

[ISaidRightTurns]

...a couple of new "squeezes."

A couple as in more than one. I am in no way that cool.

 

[NookyBooky]

You don't have to be that cool, you just have to "let" them think you are. Goldiggers use their looks, its only logical to use brains to beat them at their own game........not that I would have any first hand knowledge of that, I just "hear" it works.

i'm glad you only speak for yourself

my 'squeeze' isn't coming to visit until august 8. guess i will have to postpone (what an odd word. just look at it!) my long solo X-C til she gets here. of course, i'll have to sneak her on da plane, avoiding my CFI's hawk-like gaze...

 

[FlyJordan]

I say PHNL is ideal for a cross country!

 

[cforst513]

By August 8th you'll probably have your private you fookin genius you..

thank you, captain obvious. i only said what i did to fit in with the long X-C conversation that this thread was about. i will have my private by the end of july or i'll be upset with myself.
