Default My Third Solo X-Country

I landed in Huntsville a few weeks ago on another xc flight. As for game
day in TCL, I've had my "experience" there. See my previous xc posts.

That's about it for now. As usual, any advice, constructive criticism,
and other comments are welcomed.

I flew to BHM for my night dual. I was on a long final when the tower
asked if I could "expedite landing". My flight instructor looked behind
us and could see the landing lights in the distance. I think it was a
FedEx or UPS cargo flight coming in behind us. I got the Warrior down and
off of the runway as fast as possible. The big boy landed while we were
taxiing to the FBO. That was a fun night....

I am not far from you, I am in Huntsville.

My first solo XC was from HUA to TCL, I went the Sunday after the
Ala-Florida game last year. There was a race going on at Talladega that
day and all of the planes trying to get in there had overloaded the
system. I listened to BHM holding people out of the area for half the
flight back.

The line guy at TCL said that on gameday the jets fill up the whole
parking area at the FBO!
