My first Cross Country flight
Category None

I flew from Rochester NH -> Concord NH -> Lebanon NH -> Rochester NH, which works out to approx 150 miles, which took me 1 1/2 hours. A couple of points I was flying at the same altitude as the mountains at my side which is always fun, and Lebanon airfield is interesting as it's nestled right in a valley. Here's my route for anyone that's interested, going clockwise from Skyhaven on the right:
