Two days of Fun Flying!!

[Rudy]

The weather has been kind of crappy around here but it cleared up and I have a chance to do some flying in the last 2 days.
Yesterday I took my little brother up for about an hour in the Cherokee, I don't know if anyone remembers the post about him flying MSFS and doing the solo all by himself, but he loves every minute of being up there. I let him move the controls and get the feel for everything. It's great, he doesn't know it but I am secretly teaching him things. He is just having fun, but he already picks up on radio calls and understands the pattern too.
Today, Grandpa called and my girlfriend, him and me went up in the 182, it was the first time I had flown it for a while. You can really tell the difference in power, it is just awesome. We flew for about an hour again today and then came in. It is expected to be pretty nice all week, so I plan to do a little or a lot more flying.
I have a picture of my little brother holding the controls and I will post it later.
Having a blast,

...and that's what it's all about!

I envy you for not waiting 'til you're older like I did.

First test of potential girlfriend: she has to like fly-to adventures. My bride does, and it is so cool!

Rudy;

I am so glad you are having fun flying . I can imagine flying the 182 after flying the 140 is quite a nice transition. Have fun learning and let us know your progress.

It is so great to see him, he just smiles the whole time! First time I took him up i figured he would be scared. BOY was I wrong, I actually had to tell him to sit still because he was bouncing all over making me nervous. It's an awesome thing to introduce it to him. I tell him maybe he can be my first student! Looking forward to many more hours with him in the other seat, whether it be left or right!!

He looks a bit like Grandpa!

Haha, she loves it, but she said she doesn't have desire to learn, doesn't want the responsability. She said "you don't scare me, but I would scare me"

As long as she likes it, I don't have to get rid of her. HAHA

Haha, it has been said before!

Must be! And Rudy's doing well so far, she made it to Gaston's! (I'm assuming the same one still, Rudy?)

Rudy,

You've got it made - You can take flying trips with her, and you don't have to share any stick time!

Haha yeah still the same one!

My point of view exactly!!
