Default Her First Flight

About 5 years ago when we were dating, I took Jamie to a Fly-in. A friend agreed to take her up on her first RV ride, and first small plane ride! She was so giddy with excitement, it shows in this picture:



About to climb in... my friend Joe Miller's beautiful RV-9A with Mike Robertson as pilot:



Here she is, about a year later, trying out the Pilot's seat in a friends' RV-6A:



She liked all of this so much, I married her and we started on our own RV-7A. She is very supportive and can't wait to go on traveling and flying adventures with me.

Default The wifey...

... loves to fly too. In fact, she's just started taking flying lessons with the local aeroclub; 6 hrs so far...

( and no; she has never landed our RV because landing a TD as her very first landing has never sounded like a good idea to me...)

We normally swoop roles on every other leg; one flies the RV and the other navigate and handle the radio.

Here, she's the "Acting Crewchief on Duty" before taking off:





And here, she has just landed after her very first flying lesson:



In fact; the IP even let her LAND the C-172 on her very first flight....

It's "been a while" since I had my very first flying lesson (I think it was in 1970 or something...) so it's very fun to share her flying adventure with it's ups and downs. It reminds me how it was like for me, and that's a good reminder.

Hopefully, someday I can post a formation pic here on the forum of her and me, flying formation. She with the plane from the aeroclub and I with the RV.

Or even better; a formation-pics with both of us flying RV's!
(Thanks to Paul and Louise for the great idea... you two are two really lucky pilots! )

Great idea. I'm going to have to try that with my girlfriend. "honey, you're the crew chief today...that means you have to fuel up the airplane... and it could use a good wash too"
