Shooting an ILS approach after 14 years. It was on Microsoft flight simulator, but it was worth knowing, it was consoling to know that I still know the things. I decided to fly out from Lakefront airport, as I was familiar with the environment. I decided to fly out to Gulfport airport which is just over 50 nautical miles from Lakefront airport at New Orleans. It was the flight path which was flown by me when I did my first cross-country flight. I asked for an IFR clearance and it was given as cleared for Gulfport airport as filed asking me to climb to 3000 feet. I was on runways 18R and decided to keep the climate foggy to get a real feel of using the ILS approach.

Raise your hand if you don't like to eat out! If anyone claims to be so, than it is certainly not true, for there wouldn't be so many restaurants coming up.

Anyways, we picked up a paneer grilled taco and veg. burger. So after ordering the stuff it barely took 5 minutes for the first dish to arrive on our table. I would call this ETA to be under standard test conditions as there was none else dining at that time. The first item to come on our table was the veg burger, and I must say that I liked how it was served. I mean the plate was cute...
