I finished working on my hangar this afternoon around 6 and decided to take a hop around the patch just because. As I was starting up I got a radio call asking if I would mind taking our friend Harold up for a ride. Now Harold is a pilot, has a Maule, a helocopter and is rebuilding a Seabee , but he had never flown in an RV.
I shut down and helped Harold strap in and we were off. We climbed up above the haze layer and found cool air and I asked Harold if he would like to fly. Quicker than I could shake the stick he was on the controls. Giggles, goshes and I can't believe its later I asked if he would like to do some acro and he said have at it.
We did loops, rolls both ways, wingovers, cuban 8's and just plain had fun for about 10 minutes and called it quits.
We landed refreshed and with the typical grin and just enjoyed the evening.
Harold was a great passenger and said he had never had so much fun in an airplane.
Oh, by the way, Harold is 86 years young.
Just another RV day at the airport.
