I flew on Wednesday to the Mojave Air & Space Port. It's my first time as pilot flying into a licensed spaceport. I've actually been to Mojave many times. And it always seems crazy to drive for 5 hours to a General Aviation airport. (Well, except when the weather wouldn't allow flying there.) So here's some info about the trip...

Mission accomplished. Today I got from San Jose's Reid-Hillview Airport to the Mojave Air & Space Port in 2-1/2 hours flying in a ChickenHawk... errr, no, a Cessna 172 SkyHawk. (I have heard other pilots call them that. And the term is catchy because they're slow.)

Like I said, I go to Mojave a lot. I was visiting my friends at Masten Space Systems [2].
