.... that I have officially cut my apron strings... my first out landing, at
another airport.

It's just a small accomplishment, and it was no great distance (about 10
miles), however, heading out down wind from the airport in a 1-26, towards
the rain, intending to find that airport you have never flown into or even
seen from the air, well, it is sort of a hair raiser

But, I had a goal set to do it before Aug 12, and Sat was my last chance,
and the thermals were good, and I had a trailer in the parking lot ready to
roll.

I drove out and had a peek at the airport before flying to have a look
around, planned the flight and flew the plan. The hardest part was
convincing myself to turn down wind and go..

Tom
