Got some neeed help with cross-wind landings...

I MET my wife on a King Air.

She was the most beautiful creature to ever climb aboard. I was the dashing
Captain. Fill in the blanks! I had the most unfortunate duty of having to
fly 9 women around the 11 western states for 15 years. Spring, Summer, Fall
and Winter. We were known as the Bimbo Bomber. Even tower personnel would
give us the high five when we arrived.

Somebody had to do it!

I'm afraid that my wife has never gone and has made it clear that she
never will. I think, wishful thinking, that she's weakening. Both of my
kids have flown with me. They don't really like it or dislike it. It's
just transportation.

If your family goes with you and enjoys it, that's great. I'm jealous.
One of the reasons I went with the citabria is that I knew I'd be flying
solo most of the time.

Wife: "Yeah, obviously you had trouble keeping the wings level, so we
were leaning to the left."

Watch out when you get her on your motorcycle. :-)

Just a funny little story...

I was landing a C172 the other day with the family aboard. We were on
final with a pretty decent cross wind from the right. I dipped the
right wing down a little, maintained track with opposite rudder,
touched down right main first, etc... You know, just the standard,
every day, boring, low-wing-into-the-wind approach.

Good post.

Passenger discomfort it the reason my last CFI suggested I should become
proficient at, if not switch exclusively to, crab landings. The passengers
may be interested that the nose is pointed left or right, but even a modest
amount of prolonged banking may freak out some more sensitive passnegers.
