Flight to Pease, Start of Online Flight Log

From: KASH To: KPSM
Note: Two way trip.
Hours: 1.3
Type: C-172R Cessna Skyhawk
Number: N671DW
CFI: Nick Forte
Discription: It was a clear, calm day. Visibility was plus 10 miles and the winds weren't stronger than five knots. We flew out of Nashua (KASH), through Manchester's Class-C Airspace. Nick did all the radio calls as I flew the airplane. Once out of Manchester's airspace, we took a straight shot for Pease, which was right in between a small lake. We brought Webster 71 down to traffic pattern altitude, entered a left down-wind for the runway (I forget which end.) ATC asked us to turn off at Alpha so Nick and I flew over the runway at about 20 feet AGL until we touched down right before Taxiway Alpha. The runway was enormous, 11000X200 feet. Our Skyhawk looked like a beetle on a highway. The immensity of Pease dwarfed us. As we taxied back out, Nick called the Aviation Center back in Nashua to tell them that we'd be late and I kept the corner of my eye fixed on some C-140s that were sitting around. We pulled up to the runway, powered up and we were in the air before we got to the displaced threshhold. Then we turned around, into a headwind and headed home. We landed back in Nashua, shut down the Cessna and went home.

On a side note, I'm starting this blog to keep track of my progress in my flight training. I wish I had thought of this before, but I'm beginning this log having 21 hours under my belt, .9 being night flight.
