Debrief 20090125

So we had a change of plans today. Instead of flying to KN23, we flew to Ithaca. I got to use my trusty E6B Flight Computer today. It's much cooler when you actually get to use it. It was COLD. -5 to be exact. Oh man was it nasty. Our hands about froze. We fueled up the 152 and got going. It was a pleasant ride to Ithaca. Slightly bumpy but nothing too bad. Talking to ATC this time was a breeze. I liked that Jerry had me go to Binghamton first cause that made this sooooooo much easier and less nerve shaking. Anyway, we did a touch and go. On the touch par tof the equation, Jerry said there was a crosswind and to make a nice crosswind takeoff...and I finished up the "go" with a crosswind takeoff. The ride to Ithaca and the ride to Towanda was for the most part smooth. We tracked the VOR and all the while looking at checkpoints we'd checked on the map and used cross-radials to verify our location.
Mission Complete.
