Achievement Unlocked: Night Cross country - 3.0 hours . 291nm. This is somewhere west of Augusta, GA.
On the way back I was on flight following and was chatting with Atlanta approach about the path back to PDK, specifically altitude deviation and they said... 3KW, maintain 4500 or above as there is a MD88 maneuvering in your vicinity at 4000ft that is having landing gear issues. DO NOT go below 4500. Yikes ! A few minutes later, the Delta pilot says, don't route me too far, we are gonna land empty. Not only did they have gear confirmation issues, they were out of fuel.
