Great day to commit aviation!

I got to do something super fun today. Perfect beach weather, light winds, and I got to take someone flying for the very first time. I mean very first time. No jets or airplanes ever. We had such a blast. She is a natural pilot. Gabriel was in the back seat calling out traffic like a boss.

Super awesome rock star WALK-IT-ON landing was a plus. Smiles for days. #MooneyZoom #MooneyGirls

The only thing better than taking the controls of an airplane and flying it away... is introducing someone else to that experience.

I really like that pic. Pretty cool how the landscape changes so quickly.

I've had lot's of those first flights and always come away with a really satisfying experience.  Even mentored a couple of those into aviation careers.

GOOD JOB!!

I got to fly yesterday as well. I headed to Camarillo, CA which is the location for the first AOPA Regional Fly-In for an IFR training. Since I will be presenting Pilot Plus One there in late April I decided to load up the Mooney with some supplies which include my mannequins George and Robert [named by my son].  It was super fun to have these two in the airplane.  Their lack of conversation and criticism was a welcome change of pace from having other men in the plane.  [That's a JOKE people!].  I got a comment from the tower and several looks from the ramp guy and passers by.

Sure felt lonely and spacious on the way home!  The training was awesome [on passing the practical test] and the airplane performed without a hitch. 37 minute flight vs 2.75 hr drive.  Woot.

Everyone come see Maggie, George and Robert at the AOPA Regional Fly-In April 28-29th.

Looks like you are trying to fly in the Diamond Lane.

I don't know buttercup I would think twice before flying with you you are pretty rough on your passengers.

We went to Oceano on March 11th - it was a beautiful day!  That is my favorite place to go for a day trip.
