Back in the air

I was on vacation for the last couple of weeks. The vacation was really nice, but flying-wise it came at a bad time. I was in the final stretch of getting my license but there was just not enough time to get it done before the vacation.

So I have my night time cross country scheduled for this Sunday in the C172. Yes, it's finally back in action. During its last inspection there was some corrosion found in the wing, so it was out getting repaired for the last month or so. And since it's been a couple of weeks since I've flown and a long while since I've been in the 172, I did a solo refresher flight this morning.

The weather was clear and no wind. At least that's what ASOS said. I think there was a little cross wind. I practiced some stalls, S-turns, etc... All the basics, and then went and did 3 landings. I ended up with a few clumsy landings in the 172 the last time I flew. They were better this time, but I did feel like there must have been a little cross-wind. And compared to the 150, I was landing high. But I think today's flight helped re-acquaint me with the plane and get me back on track for my lessons this Sunday.

Also... I think I will try and take my written test next week. Wish me luck...
