My Daughter Raili and grandsons Drake and Preston have been impatiently waiting to fly in the plane that took me 9.5 years to complete. After a nice flight out to Dodge City with Todd in the morning, we landed at Jabara Airport (where cargo plane mistakenly landed instead of at McConnell AFB) since it was convenient to their home and much easier to move about to plane and de-plane. Winds were mild for Wichita at 14 knots but mostly down the runway.
Smooth as glass once we got to 4000'.
Daughter Raili a little nervous about a small plane.

I offered her the helmet but she did not want to mess up her hair (like 14 knot wind won't do that?).

Grandsons Drake and Preston were all over the opportunity to wear grandpa's helmet.

And Drake could not pass up a selfie so he could brag at school.

Took each for about 20 minute flight with fun by all. Family time. Get off the ground and all electronic gear is forgotten, except the cell phone selfies.
