Its About Time I Finally Got Me A Birdie

Ohh, this trip was a big learning experience! I have never taken off on a
slopped runway before it was kinda cool taking off "UP HILL" then there was
a TFR that started 1/2 mile from the end of the runway. Flight service said
to be very careful departing today depart to the west ASAP during my
briefing. I was also warned about this by other pilots on the CTAF during my
run-up and was wondering why every one was taking off funny. Then I had to
avoid another TFR At Bremerton, Wa I called in to Seattle and had them
vector me around it as I was not familiar with the area they were very
friendly in helping out on this it was also my first time in class B
airspace. I learned a lot out of this little Cross Country Trip. It was
still a flawless learning experiance nothing went wrong.

A wise choice. I brought my 150 home on a moonless night due to
Continental
airlines cancelling my early flight out to go get it. Wound up in
Wilmington
Delaware reading the fuel ticket to find out where I was. Missed violating
the
Philly class B by only a few miles. Landed 5 minutes after the tower
closed, or
I would've picked up a violation there.
