Flying IS popular

Don't count G.A. out just yet.

As part of our "Ultimate Valentine's Day" package, we included a 30 minute
sunset airplane ride over the city. Somewhat to my surprise, it proved to
be quite popular. In fact, we had some difficulty scheduling them all
around sunset! And at least half of the couples opted to have one or the
other of them sit up front, and log it as an actual flight lesson.

One guy signed up for flight lessons immediately after the ride!

There's hope yet!

I notice a few of the folks taking the ride were of the ... ahem ... corn fed
variety {;-)

And I didn't know you had your CFI, Jay. How did they log it as a lesson?

Well, Jim, there's a Cessna that seems to figure rather prominently in those
photos, and IIRC, Jay has a big Piper. Perhaps the Cessna comes with its own
pilot?

you look forward to the trip.

Jay has a big Piper.

Bad combination of words, especially when Jay is the subject. :-)

That's just the 'winter look'. People in this area look thinner in the
summer! ;-)

Well, um, heh, Jim, you forget that I've seen you at poolside...

Something about the pot calling a kettle something-or-other here...?

Heck, forget the people in the picture. Jay, you let them take a ride in a
manly high wing? Oh the horror...

Remember, this was a girly romantic flight.

It seemed only fitting...

I see they got a new 172SP since I rented at IOW over the holidays. Their
previous 172R needed a bit of help (tumbling horizon and alternator issues).
Still it was a great sightseeing flight for relatives over the Iowa campus...

Glad to hear their was so much public interest.
