I guess I'll see how it goes when I get to the stage of taking long cross countries (I'm just returning as a high-time, long-inactive student). It seems like there's already plenty for me to manage whilst flying, and I really can not imagine being on a solo XC flight and having to futz around with a plastic bottle and everything, all the while trying to fly the plane, navigate, deal with ATC, etc. I guess you get REAL good at trimming 'er up for hands-off!
I'm now flying out of Boeing Field and I have to say that after being away from flying for so very long, all the actual flying itself is pretty much still very familiar, but the procedures for flying in/out of BFI seem a bit stressful to me. I bet things are a bit more relaxed at other local fields, eh?
After I finish up the ticket, I will be looking for either a local club to join, or if I'm lucky I might even buy an older 2-seater (probably a 152 or something similar). Do you know where it's (relatively) cheaper to tie down/hangar airplanes around Seattle? I assume that BFI is the most expensive. I thought I saw a sign at Auburn not long ago for $30/tie downs. I wonder if that's the cheapest around, and what's the cheapest covered storage (hangars, etc.)....got any suggestions?
Thanks.
