Here is a flight before I received my private pilots license, I wanted to share with everyone. I can remember it was one of my first Solo Cross Country flights from Northeast Philadelphia to Lancaster, from Lancaster to Reading and from Reading to Northeast Philadelphia. The flight was uneventful, but I remember learning about the IAS vs TAS. I was flying along at 6,500 feet on one of the legs and the IAS was showing 80 knots, but the airplane TACH was at 2,400 rpm. Reason behind this is because the number of molecules in the air decreases as you increase in altitude. This was a great lesson about why the conversions are important while in flight. There are pictures, audio of me talking to LNS tower, thanks to Liveatc.net and videos posted below.
