Yeah, guess 600 miles would be pushing it :-) especially in my
"Slowdowner".

That's the problem here. It's very busy airspace, and while approach is
pretty good with traffic advisories, I certainly don't trust them in VFR
conditions....this is someplace you really need a safety pilot who is
actually paying close attention.

Now if somebody could teach me the art of spotting planes! I pay close
attention, but spotting them is a whole different story.

I'll probably ask this instructor if he knows anyone looking to ride
along. I suppose since I'm flying, the liability is all on me anyway.

and one never knows, you just may come across a compatible partner.

I myself enjoy going up with other pilots to get some input on how to make
my flights safer / better.
