Mountain Air-First Flight

This next flight took me across North Carolina. After taking off from Mountain Air (2NC0), I flew over the Appalachian Mountains for the final time (until I fly down and back up through South America). I then continued across North Carolina. This flight was one of my longest at over three hours. I started my descent about 50 miles or so from the North Carolina Coast. As I neared the Atlantic, I had to steer around some of the restricted and prohibited airspace that covers the majority of the Carolina coast. As I entered the pattern for first flight (FFA/KFFA), it became apparent that I was too high, and I made a go around. The next approach put me too low, but I landed decently (albeit a little bit off center). I used the full runway for my rollout. I stopped on the turn area, in order to observe the beautifully modeled area where the first flight occured. Amazing how far we've come, and how so much was the result of that one flight. The Wright Brothers have my most sincere gratitude.
