WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO SOLOOOOOOOOO :D July 24, 2006
This morning July 24 I accomplish a goal at approx. 8:30 AM I took off in N3547L and made 4 takeoffs and landings all by myself, I prayed Lord let me have safe and productive flight and in spite of being a little nervous, I kept telling myself, I can do all things by Christ Jesus and guess what? I did so I will be starting on trip planning this weekend, me and my instructor will be flying from Charleston to Florence on Sunday so that should be fun however cruching the numbers on how long, how much fuel we'll use to calculating air density is a challenge but hey if I can controll a 4,000 pound plane then a little math ain't gonna stop me.

So here is ya'll DON'T LET NOTHING STOP YOU FROM ACCOMPLISHING YOUR GOALS YOU AND DREAMS, YOU BETER GET OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF CAUSE IF YOU DON'T YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT NOBODY ELSE WILL!!! GO FOR AND MAKE It HAPPEN, YOU CAN DO IT BOBBY BUSHEA.

Hello Fellow Aviiators:

1st XC tomorrow from KLRO to KFLO I find doing the flight calculations a bit challenging, working the comm should be easy I get to work them all of the time in my jobs Navajo so I home to have my ticket somewhere around Nov or Oct, that's my goal, I will keep you posted, safe flying everyone.

Hi All.

So fun with math. This may be kinda geeky but this is what I did to help learn all the cross country calculations stuff before my written test. I started plotting places I drive to. Really I did, well I still do just to keep it up. Places like home to work, or home to wife's dads house. Work to well anywhere but work. Doing this you will get to the point were you are spinning that E6B to the point smoke is coming off of it. You may even find that you may be having fun. I did, but I am a big geek. Try it out. Find out how long it will take you to fly to work, or to the store. It is fun really.

Congratulations on your solo flight. My first solo was last November. Here I even made a move of it check it out.

Wait tell you hit the solo cross country, Now that is fun.

Take care, Fly safe, and have fun.
