Remarks
I definitely just keep moving right along. Last week I did my first two cross countries (on Thursday and Friday). Today I did my own. I had originally planned to just fly one of the same ones that I had already done, but my instructor recommended going to Sheboygan (SBM). I figured, why not, it’ll be a whole lot more interesting exploring new air than flying the same stuff I just did last week. So I planned the flight out after classes today and headed out to the airport. Kevin checked over the planning while I preflight’d and gave me the endorsement to go ahead. It was a pretty good flight; after getting up to cruising altitude (3,000 MSL) I could see the Milwaukee skyline and Lake Michigan while heading to the northeast. I found the airport after keeping an eye on time and checkpoints and set up for a downwind on runway 31. As I descended a couple of hawks came pretty close to the airplane, which is always cool, but I just know one of these days I’m bound to hit one of them. I passed one up and it had to have been within about 50 feet of my right wing. Anyways, I did a touch and go and headed on back to Watertown. I didn’t really want to just land and go back to campus, so I did a couple touch and go’s first. I still need to work on just getting those wheels to the pavement. I float way too much, but I’ll get it still.Below is the aerial view of Sheboygan (SBM).
