| Subject: | First flight for a noob |
GCY had a Fly-In last Saturday, David & I flew down. After lunch, an obvious photographer
type was taking pictures and asking questions, and you know how it
is when your spider-sense tingles? I knew I had a live one...
"Would you like to go for a ride?" I said. Instantly, a dozen emotions flew across
her face. "I DON"T KNOW!" she replied, obviously terrified.
It turned out great. The thermals all took a break for the 20 minutes we flew around
the airport, and while not my best landing, it was far from my worst. Which
she commented on; "That was not nearly as violent as I was expecting." she
said. To which I replied "Yeah, we ought to still be able to use the airplane
again." I think she missed what I was trying to say.
Anyway, it was a great day, and later, on the way home, the variometer was bouncing
between 1600 up and 900 down - she probably wouldn't have liked that ride
nearly as much...

Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.
