It was all well planned, the flight plan, the weather, all by the book. All the calculations, everything was there - until I heard the expected IFR clearance "You are cleared direct to KISM, expect radar vectors". Damn it! After meticulously filling the flight plan form, spending more than 1 hour using the E6-B 1000 times, thinking about headings and wind corrections.... all to the waste bin :))
The flight itself was gorgeous, not IFR all the way, but there were some clouds and some pretty bad haze on the way back. Flying the glass is such a joy.... autopilot ON, and the camera starts looking for good shots. We flew over Disney World, but I couldn't really identify any roller coaster :)
Next XC is going to be looooong, I am going to Tallahassee - that's almost 5 hours both ways!!
Enjoy the pics...
