Flying!

[cjsmith]

Rob and I are going to take the Warrior up today at lunch!

I should be ecstatic, but I'm terrified. Probably because a) I really ought to be doing a whole lot of other things during this time, like work and do Christmas shopping and find a new house insurance company, and b) I haven't flown in a LONG time and I am gonna be one sucky pilot.

We shall see.

Yay! Go! Have a good time!

And don't worry. Rob will be there to keep you from crashing horribly. I'm sure it'll all come rushing back, and you'll be doing hammerhead stalls in no time.

(Yes, I'm joking. I assume it isn't an aerobatics kinda day, and I don't know whether it's an aerobatics kinda plane.)

Oooo, is that toyon?

Yeah, the basics will probably come back, sort of like riding a bicycle. Sharper skills need practice, but I guess I gotta start sometime!

(It'd be an OK aerobatics day, but this is SO NOT an aerobatics kinda plane. Some days it scares me that I know how to do stuff in the air that could permanently damage or destroy this aircraft.)

*swoon*
Marry me? :)

It'd be an OK aerobatics day . . .

I was thinking that any day on which you were unsure you remembered how to fly a plane might not be a good aerobatics day. ;)

That's not all it could damage or destroy. But I trust you absolutely. (Staying over SC County, today? :) )

I thought you'd never ask! ;-)

Ahhhhh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant weather-wise. (Actually I'm more confident with the acro than with finesse-y bits like landing.)

I'll probably stay over the airport! Watch the news for someone who made a crumpled ball of aluminum on the grass near the runway. :-)
