Like a dream come true...last weekend I took up my first passengers: Sue and Teddy! Teddy has been talking about this all year. Last year on his birthday--Nov 3, we went up in Hotel Alpha with my instructor...Teddy loved it...but he wanted to go "with just us". Last year at this time, I wasn't even actively taking lessons...but it was Teddy's persistence in asking me about it (like everyday) that, in part, got me going again...so last year on my birthday--Dec 28, I started back again and this time I finished. I finished by his birthday, which was a goal in my head this whole time. Teddy totally loved the flight as you can see from the pic...we flew north along the Mississippi, saw the Winfield damn and circled Athy Farm. He wants to go up on his birthday again next week...this time he wants to a fly-by of the Arch! So, I have been busy studying the airspace and procedures so that I get it just right.
