mooneygirl Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 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 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsxrpilot Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 The only thing better than taking the controls of an airplane and flying it away... is introducing someone else to that experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yooper Rocketman Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 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!! Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooneygirl Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know buttercup I would think twice before flying with you you are pretty rough on your passengers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 We went to Oceano on March 11th - it was a beautiful day! That is my favorite place to go for a day trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
