Rented the Tiger from the flight school and flew to Apalachicola, ate lunch in town then headed back.

I made use of my newly aquired instrument rating to file IFR down and back - first solo flight in "the system". It was VFR conditions all over the southeast, but it was a lot of fun to punch up through the thin overcast/broken layer and cruise down on-top of the clouds.

On the return trip I requested a cruise/block clearance from 5 to 6,000 so I could skim the clouds, that was great fun. Was about 260nm each way - took a little under 5 hours round trip with a stop at LaGrange, Ga. on the way back.

That's my kind of flying right there. Glad you had a safe trip, great weather and a good time. Great pics.:rawk:
 
Thanks guys - it was a blast! I really like that Tiger, flys very nice and has a great avionics package, dual ILS and the 430 has WAAS.

Here's a video of the trip, some cloud surfing starts about a third of the way into it - http://www.vimeo.com/3564624
