Hi The-shop-that-I-never-take-my-sister-into,

Fly from Florida across to L.A. and back. Interesting places along the way such as Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Houston, New Orleans, Big Bear City etc etc...

Whilst hour building, fly with strict adherance to altitude, heading and speed control. Practice PFLs, Maneouvers. Go night flying. Practice precision landings in all sorts of winds. Learn some FAA maneouvers if you feel inclined (chandelles, lazy eights etc). Do an aerobatics course. Maybe some formation flying (with appropriate training).

Overall enjoy yourself but as other people have said, push yourself a little (safely though). Please don't just bore holes in the sky over the same airport day in, day out.

My next flying trip will probably be from Florida up to New York (Teteboro), across to Chicago (wish Meigs was still open) and back to Florida via New Orleans. Then if I have time will probably take a few days bimbling over to the Bahama's. Probably going to take a Seminole as I would like some more multi time.

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.

PS. I'm FAA IR rated. Hint Hint (but am a little busy this year I'm afraid).
