We're back in business, picking up some light precip. Shouldn't be too bad. Let's see what we're talking about here, weather. Q at 4,200. Alright, let's pick up weather. Downtown ground, nope, don't need that. We need ASOL 118.52. Shreveport, downtown airport, Shreveport, Louisiana. Automated weather observation, 1943 Zulu. Wind 060 at 05. Visibility 10.

Shreveport ground, Cessna number 4068U, requesting VFR clearance to Tango, Papa, Lima, currently at the viewpoints. 4068U, downtown ground, roger. I am ready to taxi, 68U. Cessna 68U, runway 14, taxi via D and F. Wind variable at 4, altimeter 2989. Alright, runway 14 via D, F, 68U. And what type of Cessna are you? Type 150, and cruising altitude is going to be 4,500.

Alright, as you can see we've got some light precip out here. A little bit of rain doesn't stop the show. I've been immaculately trained. Just a slight smidge in the precip, it's nothing. Alright, time for the run up. Alright, we can see our fuel levels are in the green, oil temperature is in the green, oil pressure is in the green. Suction is at 4.5, that's where I like it. Instruments are in the green. In the green, alright, everything looks good. Alright, set for takeoff, flaps are zero. Texture is adjusted for density altitude. ADS-B is good, radio's good, transponder on. And alt. We have that, that is good to go. Got a squawk in there, 5164. Alright, we'll pull idle. Alright, let's contact tower. 20.225. Departure is 119.9. Tower is 120.2. Downtown tower, Cessna 4068U is holding short of 14 at Foxtrot, ready for takeoff. Cessna 4068U, downtown tower, right here is light to moderate precipitation, echoes southwest of the field. Looks to me the best if you go straight out for about 4 miles before you make your turn on course. That would be the best. Alright, we'll go out 4 miles before we make a turn on course, Cessna 4068U. Cessna 4068U, winds 180 at 10 gusts 17, runway 14, clear for takeoff. 14 clear for takeoff, Cessna 4068U. And we've been cleared for takeoff, it's time to go home. Alright, ForeFlight is telling me we're entering runway 14, we have 4,900 feet remaining. Yeah, before I take off roll, shouldn't be a problem. Alright, everything is good, seat adjustment is great, here we go, ready for takeoff, let's do this. I did want to get a really cool shot of downtown, but the weather gods are not cooperating with me today. Cessna 468U, contact street port departure. Alright, we'll contact departure on 119.968U, be there. And street port departure, Cessna number 4068U, 600 feet, climb at 4,500. Cessna 4068U, street port departure, ident. Ident, Cessna 668U. And number 5280, turn left heading 240. Left heading 240, Cessna 668U. Cessna 668U, radar contact 2 miles south of the downtown airport, resume navigation. Resume navigation, Cessna 668U. Cessna 668U, was the precipitation over the field bad? Precipitation was moderate, I wouldn't say it was severely bad, Cessna 668U. Roger, thanks. And number 5280, descend and maintain 2,000. 2,000, 5280. And 7C, do you have a copy of flight conditions over the field? I did, I heard that, I appreciate it, 7C, we're going to go ahead and turn back towards the field to start making our way in. 7C, roger. But yeah, I wonder what's next up. So, we've done a street port now. Maybe, I don't know, maybe out here to the west. Maybe we'll do New Mexico, Arizona, California. What about that route? Either way, we'll see. I'm on my way home. I'll check in with you guys next time. Later.
