tobin and the airplane

Drove out to Tangipahoa Parish this afternoon for my first 1.1 hours logged of formal flight instruction at Hammond Northshore airport in Cessna 152 number N5107B (!).

First impressions: that's a damn small airplane!

My discovery a while ago: it's actually cheaper to split gas on a tiny 'lil Cessna 150 than to take Greyhound. I've been interested in hitching from small rural airports for a while, but my several on-a-lark attempts haven't netted much success. Let me know if you have any good tips as you learn about flying!

This article "Modern Living: Hitchhiking by Air (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,877219,00.html)" got my hopes up, but then I noticed it was published in 1971!

I have found two websites for airplane ride-sharing but they don't seem to be particularly active/functional:
