Half Fast
Touchdown! Greaser!
Well, I finally convinced Mrs. Half Fast to go for a flight with me yesterday morning. She did a discovery flight a few months back, but this was her first flight with me as pilot and we had a perfect day for it. CAVU with almost no wind. We spent about an hour and a half sight-seeing at 2500', overflew our house and some other landmarks, and landed back at X04 (Apopka) around noon.
She had fun and enjoyed the flight, though the loaner headset was uncomfortable for her so we'll have to shop for something a bit better. She did close her eyes when I was on short final, however...
I was on flight following the whole time and Orlando Approach was pretty busy, keeping up an almost constant stream of calls over the radio and sometimes making it difficult for the two of us to talk. They helped me several times with traffic, though, so it was worth having to sift through all the chatter. There were lots of folks flying yesterday and I was very glad for the help.
Overall a great flight, and we're looking forward to lots more flying time together.
