On several occasions I've also had the privilege of flying my Mother-in-law,
which is more of a challenge since she's partially handicapped. She's
handled it like a trooper every time, however.

Ater my father became confined to a wheelchair, I learned the best
airplane to fly him around in was a Cherokee Six. All he had to do was
stand up with his back to the airplane at the back door and sit down on
the rear seat by the door.
Prior to that, I experienced similar problems as George describe,
getting him into a C172 to take him on flyouts to a pheasant farm for
lunch. Another trip for $100 hamburgers, we took a Rockwell 112. He had
to scoot up the wingwalk backwards, turn around, then scoot forward
through the door to sit on the seat.
(Time to seriously start looking for that Six, Jay!)
