I'm a little fearful of small planes; my dad had one and he was a real
amateur and showoff. We had some close calls with death when I was a
child and I haven't been up in a small plane since those years.

But I drive between the north San Diego area and Bakersfield Ca about
twice a month and am falling asleep at the wheel. I can't take chances
anymore. So I'm trying to find someone with their own plane who makes
this flight or who would like to make such a flight once or twice a
month with no definite continuous commitments.

My dad had a hard time finding company to fly with him and I don't
know if that's a common difficulty, but if you find it to be true for
you and would like some company and fly this route, I would learn to
enjoy the ride. (My son is starting pilot lessons in LA but he won't
have a plane for some time).

Anyway, I would be happy to pay for the gas if it's not too awfully
high, but I can't afford charter rates.

I'm female, 51, balanced conversation and a good listener. I'm a
private tutor and I go back and forth to tutor students.

Email for my contact information if you might be interested in trying
a trip with me.
