Sharing the RV Grin
Sunday I gave a ride to another -9 builder, his wife, and a -10 builder.
In the 44 hours since Phase I was finished N941WR has given rides to 24 different people.
How many different people have you given rides to?

Hi Bill,
You really should have two questions here, 1) How many people have you given rides to? and, 2) How many "[i]different[i]" people have we given rides?
Well, being honest, of the 63 people I've given rides to, about 6 of them I'd classify as being [i]different[i] 
Sorry, couldn't help but to play with the wording!!!

There are still a few in our flying community who haven't flown with me, but I'm working on it!
Anyway, we just got back from our first RV date. My wife had flown with me once before but it was a short local flight. Today, we flew about 85 miles to LZU, near ATL for a $100 hamburger at the airport restaurant. It was her third ever flight in a small plane and she did great.
We stayed above the scattered clouds and listened to the latin music xm station. 
Bright sun, puffy clouds, merengue beats, pass the Appleton!!

I've given rides to:
- 8ish potential RV builders (from eaa 20, the norcal list or this website)
- 8ish folks at Burning Man International Airport (3 of these pax were naked )
- 6ish young eagles - The RV only carries one, so the scheduler knows that the 'regular' kids who want to fly in something special should get this plane
- 3 tower controllers from my local airport
- 10 coworkers
- 10 friends
- 4 line people

As of about two years ago, the number was 88 unique people. I haven't added the last two year's worth, but will.
I mark the person's name in my logbook, and I'm sure I missed a few.
Sharing RV's is one of life's great pleasures!

Rides
In 177 hours I have given rides to 25 people, the most memorable of which was my 85 year-old father who payed for my private ticket so many years ago. That one left a pretty good lump in both our throats.
