.Evan. Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 After many years, today I finally got to fly with my Dad. He had flown all kinds of GA aircraft in the 60s and 70s, but hadn't flown at all until a few months ago when he was offered access to a friend's Cessna 210. He's now in the process of resurrecting his PPL. I was nervous, because there were many other firsts today also: 1. First flight with my Dad 2. First flight in a J-170 3. First flight from a new airport (i.e. other than YBLT) 4. Dad's first flight in a recreational aircraft 5. First use of a lovely (and expensive) ANR headset. It was an awesome day for flying, and we went all around the Latrobe Valley where I grew up. He and I had a great time, and thankfully it all went well - I didn't scare him from going again!

.Evan. Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, it officially was Moz. However, the owner did take me on an intro flight beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suitman Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks for your blog entry Evan - I really enjoyed reading about the flight. (Although not quite as much as you enjoyed taking your Dad for a flight ) Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
