3 Jan., 2009 -- New prospective pilot


New student pilot! A friend brought his granddaughter Abbie to look at the airplanes today, and she got to sit in the pilot seat and work the aileron controls. She thought that was pretty neat! She knew about gps, because Gramps has TomTom in the truck that talks to him!

Lloyd and Ben and Zack drove to Willow Springs this morning for breakfast, and it was FOGGY. After it blew away and became clouds, Bill and Laurie flew the Lance back to Michigan. They had a hefty tailwind, with the surface wind gusting to 28 mph. We guessed they were getting nearly 200 knots ground speed, and climbing! Yeee-haw.
