Good luck on the long XC. Hope for clouds. Half of mine was in and out
of the clouds, which required the hood. 1/4 was above the deck (great
view of a US Air Dash-8 breaking through the undercast, then holding at
5000' while we passed over). 1/4 of the trip was in solid IFR. Great
experience and easier IMHO than using the hood.

No XC today, too much breeze. Trying to get this thing done is like
scheduling a checkride. This is try #3.
