I took my first ride today, and it was awesome – one of those days you’ll remember forever. We climbed out over nearby by Waynesville and the lake, and I made a lazy circle about Caesar’s Creek State Park, and then we brought her back. It was only about a 30 minute flight, but it was the culmination of almost exactly 6 years of hard work. Thanks Dave!

Also, on the last flight of the night, as the winds began to calm, Elizabeth really got into the groove, and was approved by Dave to fly the plane solo! So, Dave hopped out, and he and I watched pensively as she made three great take-offs and landings. Congratulations, Sweetie!
