First time passenger in a GA plane - Video

This makes me curious, did she try at all or did she try and have a bad experience with a small plane? Seems with flying it's "all or nothing" and while perfectly normal to have more worries on a small plane with news media broadcasting "it's raining small planes", and not unusual for one to be hesitant, with a good experience, usually fears do diminish (probably never go away which is not a bad thing either!). She went up once in a small plane a LONG time ago and was very nervous about it and is very reluctant to try again. I don't have a lot of details on her previous flight. Just that she did not like it. |

Just that she did not like it. If there is no specific reason, it makes it "tough". Only thing I can think on getting her on a GA plane is for her to have "incentive" such as a shopping trip somewhere (getting close to Xmas), visiting a relative for a day trip that would not be possible by car or winning her through her stomach ($100 hamburger run). If you do convince her, everybody's suggestions in this thread should be seriously considered so her impression of GA would have a better outlook. |

These days I think a hundred dollar hamburger is at McDonalds on the way home after a single touch and go! Back in my dating days it never occurred to me to offer the choice of a hamburger 150 miles away or a great dinner 5 miles away. I had lots of distant hamburgers. |

Even in my short 49 years of the top side of where the green grass grows, I can remember I could get filled up on a meal from McD's for less then a dollar. Those were the days. Back in my dating days it never occurred to me to offer the choice of a hamburger 150 miles away or a great dinner 5 miles away. I had lots of distant hamburgers.- Hide quoted text - Yep, my kinda style of dining anyway and the commute much better. Fat ole greasy 1/2 pounder is more fullfilling then some black tie event. At least I don't have to figure out which fork to use when eating a hamburger! LOL |

LOL High class is when the flatware isn't plastic and where the ketchup doesn't come in envelopes. Really high class is when there is no ketchup on the table -- people like Bloss have to ask for it. |
