Default one of those flights

there was nothing significant about this flight. avg 50 kt tailwind, 600 miles, 21 gallons. the controller asks how the ride, I answered, smooth with chocolate cake. it was cool outside with a breeze at our destination and after shutdown my daughter said "let's sit here to warm", so we did.

Nice trip; nice weather!

Aside: the numbers on you panel for indicated, true, and ground speed would make a great example for newbies in ground school.
