First day and boy was I jittery. But, everything went smoothly. Below is a quick video just before take off.

Before I go too far I need to say thanks to two people.

Dave at AirportPilotShop.com for getting me my headset. He shipped it to me overnight and it showed up this morning. I’ll be sure to let everyone know how the new Zulu headset is working. It was great on the first leg, but we’ll see after I wear it for 10 hours straight. Thanks Dave leaving me a message earlier and letting me know you had one and then for sending it down to me in Texas. I’ll give you a call when I pick up a new headset for Jenny.

Gene Soucy, from Gene Soucy Airshows. He’s providing a hanger for the plane tonight at Aero Country in McKinney. Gene just opened a nice little self serve fuel station there that we’ll be using tomorrow before heading out. So thanks for the enclosed hanger for the night.

Here’s a link to my map on Flickr where you can see my progress and some images I took. Some of them I uploaded while I was flying. More to come.

And below is a short video after landing where I admit publicly to the worst landing I’ve ever made. LOL

Tonight we’re picking up my co-pilot at Love Field and planning tomorrows leg. Looks like a cold front is moving in so we’ll see how far we can make it before hitting high winds or storms. We’re planning to leave out at 7:30 AM.

And with that, I’m off.
