Yes. She flies "OK" on airlines. She just doesn't want to try a 182.


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.

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.

Ain't this the truth. 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.

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

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.
