1st cross country flight

Today started out great with the temperature up to 13C, very beautiful day with very little clouds and little wind. I have planned our trip from Denton to Addison to Sulphur Spring and back to Denton, it will take us a little over 2 hours to make the trip if everything is where it supposed to be...
I have already anticipate this, I knew the weather would change on me, so I got to the school a lot ahead of the time and re-calculate every leg of the trip just to be safe.
Grant and I went over the details of my flight plan and was quite satisfied with my work, w efiled the flight plan and jumped into our little Cessna 152 and off we go !
My first stop was my favorite Addison Airport, I just had to land here at least once even though it's so close and it's under B airspace we couldn't fly very high. As usual, I made a safe landing and told the tower I want to taxi back and depart~ many jets were waiting for me to land as I SLOWLY approach the runway, haha!

After departing from Addison Airport (KADS), we were on our way to our destination- Sulphur Springs (KSLR), I like the airport code, SLR!! yeah~
that is a small airport without a control tower, so everyone that's flying there should talk to each other over the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency to avoid any collisions. 
by the way, on our way back to Denton, the wind changed from what's supposed to be a tail wind to a headwind, which made our Ground Speed slower, and we had to return the plane on time, so we came up with another plan, a direct flight, and it was very close to Frisco !! when I notice it, it was already too late, I've already passed our house ! too bad !!! but I did got some cool photoes !


look familiar ? ?

1st cross country flight

This will be my first cross country flight, total distance is 180 nautical miles. My first stop after departing from Denton will be Addison airport ! I always wanted to land there!!! and plus my instructor told me that the pilot shop over there is pretty cool, so ~ maybe Joon can see me from his apartment roof !, next stop will be my destination= Sulphur Springs, I chose this airport solely by its distance, nothing more, and I want to avoid an uncontrolled airport on the way there which has "extensive parachute jumping" activities and glider...so I didn't plan directly from Addison airport to Sulphur Spring. And on the way back, I chose the route to the north is because I don't wanna enter a class D airport, I have no room in between the airport and the DFW class B airspace. I was hoping to plan a route so I can fly over Sharon's house and take a photo, that'll be cool!! anyway, I still have to finish my plan so I can go on Monday !
PS: IF THE WEATHER ALLOWS ....right now it's blowing snow ...

山寨火腿培根蛋

漢堡蛋吃完了!來作火腿培根蛋!好吃是好吃,可是火腿跟培根都不太方便..又不能不冷凍,冷凍了早上又要化冰。我看下次要先分裝好一份一份的....應該會好一點。

隨便做做~

If something looks good, IT NORMALLY IS !! haha, I love nato rice and tomato-egg. it's my bento box for the next 3 nights.

FAA written exam 93分 pass @@
