Thumbs up 1st Passenger In N159SB!!!

My wife got the honors of being the first passenger in N159SB last evening!!!

I think she liked it more than she is willing to admit..she always says that traveling by air is not her favorite thing but she enjoys the speed in which she gets somewhere...

She has flown with me a few short times in a 172 rental but that is the limit of her light plane experience..

And a beautiful day for her first flight too!

Nice work Brian! After watching your build and seeing you fly off Phase I (and learning many things from you along the way!) its great to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor!

You both look like you had big fun!!

Cheers,
Bob

Congrats to you both. Looking at her grin, I'd say she is enjoying it just as much as you are.

Pretty airport you got there----

Default Here's a trick...

...I've shown several wives who accompanied their husbands down here for training. Put in their home ID in the GPS and as soon as you take off, show her the ETE to her home..or any other destination. One lady said, "What, only two hours? It took us 8 hours driving!" Yep, that's correct...one fourth the time in the RV..

Best,
