Flew to meet friends at Alta Mesa Airpark (3CN7) and back. 2 full stop landings. 68.8 nm one way, so satisfies Sport and Private XC.
Un-eventful landing and takeoff from a grass field, with a stiff headwind so it was pretty easy. On the way back, I flew over Hwy 680 on the West side of the Livermore valley, and got hammered by turbulence! I had to shift away from the hills a bit, so I asked KLVK for permission to enter their airspace temporarily.
Flight from KRHV to KHAF and back. On the way there, flew through KSJC and over SLAC. On the way back, came up Hwy 17 and over the Lexington reservoir. 2 full stop landings.
I washed the plane today, then took it out for a spin. Sergey happened to be around and came with me. Very bumpy day. I did one go-around and one touch-and-go at E16, then came back for a full stop landing at KRHV. Sergey wanted me to do wheel landings, which I'm totally not used to. To-do item: Practice wheel landings! Sergey's advice is, use some flaps to keep the aircraft's incidence reasonable while landing.
