		<description><![CDATA[A day for a perfect cross country. Started with KUUU &#8211; Newport to 42B &#8211; Goodspeed &#8211; the land and water runways side by side in the river in CT. Dan and Debbie who share a 150 out of KUUU suggested we go there and we meet up at the field. Dropping in over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[30 young people got a flight at EAA Chapter 196’s Columbus Weekend Young Eagles event today. 3 got to come in Cessna 150 N6141G! All were completely into it – applied their math schooling to the problem of fuel endurance after we sticked the tanks (to the delight of parents and grandparents). Helped with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who read my first blog about why I was learning to fly - one reason that spurred me on was news of friends and collegues who were facing living with cancer. When I wrote that original post &#8211; I left out the names. Later one of my friends agreed that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So there was a small weather window this morning to get out of Newport and over to Providence after the cloud lifted and before the winds started to blow too hard for my little Cessna 150. Later in the day the winds will ease but the visibility will be dreadful, then there will be thunderstorms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A long weekend planning a 241 mile cross country to Elmira Corning. Just why the examiner wants that as an objective I’m not 100% clear but as I plan it out I have to deal with designated mountain areas, turbulence in the lee of ridges and most classes of airspace. I pore over the material [...]]]></description>

VFR and within my personal minimums but quite hazy. I used the VOR for real to get back to the field when I came back from 12 miles away. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saturday morning &#8211; A gap between the thunder squall line that just passed over and the next incoming block of rain. Ceilings at 5000 overcast. I evaluate we can squeeze in a lesson but must stay local. Greg agrees. It is still raining a little during preflight. I go over 503SP very carefully. I’ve flown [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Saturday, Tuesday and today Wednesday the weather has been slowly getting on the boil. Easily hitting 24C by 08:00 in the morning this morning. Which means we have to start to worry about density altitude. The air is hot and thin and the plane doesn&#8217;t fly so well. 3000ft runways that you could jump [...]]]></description>

I lost the first block &#8211; but though it is still thick fog in Newport it is apparently clearing at the airport. I drive in for the second block. It is hazy and my instructor and I carefully look through [...]]]></description>
