my first solo xcountry wasnt much of a deal for me.
My istructor had me plan a flight from davenport(kdvn) to cedar rapids(KCID). which is only about a half hour flight.
Im am in 141 traning and as I was about to leave my instructor noticed that the flight was suppose to be an hour and a half or 2 hours, dont remember.
So needless to say I did 26 touch and goes out at ceder rapids to kill time. Made it about a 30 hour flight
Now my 4 hour 3 airport xcountry was the real milestone for me. Went from davenport to Aurora chicago, down to champaign, and back to davenport. That flight alone took away all my doubts I had about picking this career for the rest of my life.
