Pilot License Arrived, Planning for Second Trip

I received my official pilot’s license from the FAA on Wednesday. I like the design and the card seems very sturdy. Now I'm contemplating getting a nice plaque to display the license.

My wife and I will be heading to a bed and breakfast in southern Wisconsin this Friday evening. I’ve planned the trip from MDW to RYV via DPA 68IS. I’ve already called the FBO to make sure there will be tie downs available (Oshkosh is a two hour’s drive north from the airport) and reserved a car from Enterprise. Everyone I spoke to on the phone was very pleasant and accommodating. The plan is to be wheels-up by 6pm, wheels down by 7pm, and at the B&B by 7:45pm.

This will be my first trip real trip planned with Aeroplanner. Once everything was set, Aeroplanner generated a nice 46 page PDF (2.8MB)—which they term a Trip Tick—containing the charts I need, a ton of information about the airports on my the route (including kneeboard charts and aerial photos, FBO services and contact info, NOTAMS, METARs, TAFs), airspace of interest, weather, TFRs, and so on.

I’ll let you know how the whole flight goes when I return.
