Yep. And it was a lot cheaper and more efficient than eHarmony! 100% success on the first arranged meeting! (Yes, the BBRSP trip really was special.) Thanks, again, Doug. Great service!

Great write up Paul.
I have made pretty well the same trip about four times now
and the scenery is as you say, great. Keep the GIB. I am very fortunate my wife loves flying.

Great write up. You discovered one of SoCals jewels. We love Big Bear. It is a favorite breakfast destination (great restaurant at the airport) and always near the lowest fuel price in all of SoCal. Cool mornings during the summer and real snow in winter, Big Bear always offers a change of pace and a place to escape the LA bustle. And best of all, 20 minutes (all climb)from KCNO!

You almost have it right----------
It isnt just front seat, it is SOLO.

I dunno ... with him in the back, he's not only committing Val to her hands, but himself too

Doug, somehow I dont think you have ever stood on the ground and watched as your wife/girlfriend/significant other-----pick one-----flew away in your airplane.
I have.
When my wife made her first solo in my old Stinson, watching it was one of the most rewarding/scary apprehensive/proud mixed emotion events of my life.
Anyway, good luck to Paul and Louise.
Sure am glad I am married to a woman who loves to fly.
Mike
