I had a pitot/static problem as a new PPL (clear weather) that was very
exciting. Airspeed was fine till about 20 feet off the ground. At that
point airspeed would start dropping.

My first solo XC was my first time in a C-172 with an airspeed indicator
in MPH. It took me about half of the first leg to figure out what was
going on.

My brain is really screwed up now: I fly a plane marked in MPH (with
knots on the inner ring) and I tend to think about cruise and approach
in knots and critical airspeeds in MPH.
