August 9, 201015 yr Hi all,Just thought I'd post a link to a gallery instead of trying to load up a bunch of photos here.Long story short: N14 > NAGGS > MAZIE > KABE, Warrior II. First time solo in a Warrior. About 2 hrs. remain in my training (will be my solo long x/c to OXB Ocean City, MD) before I'm technically eligible for a checkride, but I do plan on 1) practicing more in the DA-20, which is my "main" trainer, and 2) studying and possibly taking my written first. Quick note: I was stunned to see an actual quarry where one showed up in FSX + Tileproxy. I mean, holy cow. I thought it was some terrain error, but there it was! I quickly snapped a picture after the amazement wore off of seeing it & knowing I was sorta going in the right direction :)I was planning on using a different Warrior but my CFI said this one had a better GPS... I had planned on intersection nav anyway, so kept it up on the radios. (I did use the GPS... but still kept those VORs happy!) I love this plane.Met my uncle/aunt at ABE. My uncle is a very, very experienced pilot. You can tell by the way he shoulders those wheel chocks.My flight to AllentownAndrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g

August 10, 201015 yr I checked your route and it appears that you flew over my house. Thanks for keeping it in the air; I remember my early flights when I realized there was no reset button. Another good flight from the beach is KRDG Reading. Good $100. cheeseburgers.
