A very strange feeling...
We were just sitting here watching football on a lazy Sunday afternoon
when a single engine plane droned over our house, at low cruise setting. Mary and I looked at each other. She voiced what we were both thinking: "I wonder if that's Joe?" He's up right now trying to get ten more hours of solo time before he can take his check ride. I know it would be almost irresistable for him to fly over our house, his school, his friends... What a weird feeling, knowing that the kid you taught to ride a bike, and who's been flying with you since he was in a car seat, is flying overhead, solo... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

A very strange feeling...
Is he using the pathfinder for his lessons?
Wait until he asks to borrow the Pathfinder for a date.. BT "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com...

Can't be as he'd "shock cool" Jay's engine! :-) That, and all the other things he'd "shock"... :-) According to his instructor he's apparently got the art of landing a 150 down pretty well. I'm told he needs to develop some finesse (if he flies like he drives, that's no surprise), but is otherwise a fine pilot. What's missing at age 17 is "judgement". That's the only part of his whole endeavor that keeps me awake nights. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Quite of the week: "Hey Dad! Can I borrow the plane?"

You are experiencing parenthood. Our kids don't fly, but I think that would be easier than worrying about driving, what with all those idiots in cars.
