If ever you’re passing through the area, the Llano airport is lovely. They have a free BBQ shuttle courtesy car you can check out to pop over to Cooper’s, and it’s well worth the experience!

Good news — finally had all the stars align and got to do my first cross-country flight with an instructor! (Hello, Lake Waco)
Bad news — my regular instructor is no longer at my school. :(

Oh, and yesterday we toured some cool spots at NASA. Got to see the mission control for ISS ops, the fully-restored room from the Apollo and STS missions, and walk through a full shuttle-without-shell in a building.
