Pilot news today:

I got to do a LAF-MQJ-LAF x-c (cross country to Mount Comfort) today. Heard Dad on the radios. I was going to talk to him but my instructor took over communications to put in a request that he didn't tell me about.
In other news it has been reported that the dude who crashed was not IFR rated- so Icing may not have been the cause of the accident, and the fact that he flew on a day when even IFR rated pilots would not fly seems to confirm the rumor of substance abuse. ~If you fly make sure your pilot is sober and sane.
Also, I hope to fly the chipmunk tomorrow (emphasis on tomorrow) and do a x-c to Danville on Friday and a long x-c to somewhere in Ohio or Illinois on Saturday! That would conclude my x-c training and put me about a week away from getting IFR rated!

In not pilot news: I only have three physics labs left in my life!!!!! :) :) :) so happy!!!
