Two Awesome Pilots!


It has been three weeks since I have flown.  Amy and Gus and Miss Vivian were in town, and then I went to Vermont for the telescope maker's conference.  So today was my first flight in a while.  It went really well.  I mean, why not?  You are looking at two awesome pilots at work in their "office" - a Cessna 172R.  OK, OK, so you have one awesome pilot, which is my instructor Michael, at left, and one wanna' be awesome pilot, which would be me!   :-)  I really missed not flying for such a long time, and actually my landings were much better than they have been since I started flying again and Michael complimented me on them which made me feel really good!  There is hope for this old guy!

  3. I love Ken Schwartz’s comment! Nice photo of both of you. It’s not like you’ve never been a pilot before - you just need to practice flying and landing again. Betsey

  4. I just thought of an old aviation saying: "Takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory."
