Narrative:
I was on a routine training flight from aiken, sc, to gilbert, sc. I was looking on the ground for the grass field. I inadvertently strayed into columbia, sc, class C airspace at 2300 ft. I saw a large aircraft off my left wing about 1 mi away. I then left class C airspace. I am a happy student pilot. It is a great privilege. In the future this will make me a better and safer pilot.
