Took my brother flying for the first time yesterday

[Ghery]

We were in Pullman for our dad's memorial service and help Mom with anything she needed help with. Service was Friday. I reserved a plane for Saturday morning. He's got lots of hours riding, but he'd never been up with me before. I got checked out in one of the local FBO's C-172s (an N model I had flown before) and then took Paul sightseeing. I flew, he took pictures. Had a great time and it works well to take you mind off other things.

Here are a few of the pictures he took.

Yours truely checking the fuel.

Lower Granite Lock and Dam (I worked for the contractor building it back in the early 1970s when I was in college - great co-op job).

KPUW on short final.
