Taking my wife up for the first time

"Marco Rispoli" wrote in message
For the first time last week, on Sunday evening I took my wife up with me
in
the Piper 180 at Central Jersey.

Women! Can't live with 'em? Can't live with 'em is what I always say.

I've read hundreds of "best stories I've read on RAP" over the years. This
one will be added to the list. Thanks for sharing.

One time in college I took a date up over the campus and she promptly
decided she wanted to try flying in a plane topless. Whatdayado?!

That was the harde...excuse me, most difficult...time I've ever had staying
focused on flying the plane. I can say however with absolute clarity that
there was no other traffic out there between the one o'clock and four
o'clock portion of my scan. I know, 'cause I checked. A lot.

LOL! No way! Wouldn't that be fun calling FBOs. "Hi, um...well, I've got
my instrument and commercial and I was looking into getting my Mile High
Club Rating....no, seriously. Hello? Hello?"

Be careful who you choose for an instructor. Not all have the MHC
add-on rating, and student/instructor compatibility becomes much
more important...

Saw a T-shirt at Crystel River airport in Florida for sale.
It was red and had white writing: "Remove before flight".

Crystal River.

And from another post of mine I've just read, "callsign" not "callsing".

Comes of typing while lying on my bed.

I on the other hand was utterly terrified.

Great story, Marco! Thanks for writing it.

If it makes you feel any better, I still get nervous when taking first-time
passengers up.

Taking responsibility for another person's life is not to be trivialized --
although strangely, after you've taken the same person up a number of times,
that nervousness goes away.

I suppose I figure they've become resigned to their fate -- whatever that
fate may be -- by their third flight with me! :-)
