Flew with a student this morning. He's working on a BFR. Hasn't flown since 1978. We did a lot of ground last night and this morning. His first hour of flying in 28 yrs was really good! He learned to fly in a Champ and it shows. He coordinated well. Takeoffs and Landings were a little hairy but that is to be expected. Very good all around
Launched for KC in a Lance to drop off the owner. Easy trip down and back. Turbulence was light on the way down at 4000. The feeling was familiar, was it?, yes it was...THERMALS. smoothed out at about 5000. Some beautiful cumulus clouds were to be seen between Ames and Des Moines as late as 5:30. Saw a couple hawks circling over Sam's Clubs. Somber Note: Saw a flag draped coffin coming off a Falcon Jet at KC. Last plane ride for that guy.
Going flying with my IR student now. Hes got a checkride Saturday. Fun Fun!
