I'm finally signed off in the Cessna-172. I can now take the wife unit flying and we can go on trips together. Whoo-hoo! This has been a very long time in coming. I have a book on becoming a pilot that my mom gave to me in 1987, so I've been working on this at least that long.
We may be going on a bigger cross-country flight, so today I ordered charts and facility directories
from mypilotstore.com.
A quick story: When we moved to Kentucky from Illinois a few years ago, I spent some time checking the local airports and looking for plane rentals and so on. One of the places I looked was at the Knoxville aiport. I remember going into Tac Air at Tyson/Mghee airport and asking things.
One of the coolest things I remember doing when I was learning to fly we landed at the Knoxville aiport as part of my cross-country training. Having been to the Tac Air building before, from the ground side, it was the coolest thing to come into the same building from the airplane side as a (training) pilot.
It didn't quite match, but it was fun the other day to stop by there again to pick up a chart for a cross country (that didn't work out, alas).
