Well I finally got into a 172. Flew up to Hartford a little while ago. I don't remember too much of the planning phase, but I got into a bigger plane. I'm used to the 152.
We tracked the Calverton VOR (CCC) then the Madison (MAD) then flew direct KHFD. I got to practice some radio work with NY APP, and requested flight following both ways.
Winds at Hartford were variable 240-360 @ 14kts. That made for some interesting approaches.
My friend backseated so I have some video of my landings.

Landings at KHFD (Hartford-Brainard) My first landing looks like a bounce, but it's b/c I landed on the upwind tire first.

PS: I didn't post my last solo to the practice area, or my night flight, but I'm going to start to I can keep track of my training.
