First flight of 2008 -- Madison, WI (KMSN)

First flight of 2008.. and the newly minted pilot did not get to fly?
bummer dude.. yah, I know.. it will be a few more hours before he can
qualify for the "ATLAS"

He could have come with us (or gone flying on his own) but chose to
spend his last day of Christmas break with his girfriend -- whose
mother won't let her fly in a light plane!

Joe has not flown solo since giving me a ride, the day after passing
his checkride. The weather here has been absolutely appalling, with
weeks on end of unflyable conditions. I don't know how our FBO gets
through times like this.

My first 9 flights of 2008... towing gliders up to work the ridge lift with
north winds in 1 Jan 2008.

Cool! I'll bet that never gets old, even doing it every day.

As a friend of mine that plays the tuba once noted, after a few years of
doing it, even Mozart comes down to the same old suck and blow, suck and
blow...

Sounds like time for a new girlfriend.

You know thinking back never once did the parents of any girl I dated in
either high school or college ever have a problem with them flying with me.

I do remember that most dads were impressed with the cert and if I dated
the girl long enough sooner or later asked me to take them up. Usually
to fly over their deer hunting leases right before deer season.
