Well, I'm pretty luck as my wife, Gail, has encouraged my flying hobby. What ever else I'm doing I always thing that the money I'm spending would be better spent on flying. (that beer down the pub is more expensive than a litre of AVGAS, and I'm not that much of a beer drinker..............anymore)
Today is a historic occassion, my wife had here first flight in OUR kr2, and loved it. As we drove to the strip there was fog covering the strip and the taxi ways, all surrounding areas were clear. So DI the KR2 and strap in, taxi to the end of the strip and then wait for visibility to improve. Finally we are rolling though light fog and climb to 2000 ft AGL and do a little 1/2 hour tour of the area around home. I explain to Gail that we may side slip on final to reduce height, no problems, nice perfect glide to the thresh hold, as we settle into ground effect I feel the grass hitting the mains and comment this to her, then a nice perfect 3 pointer, taxi in an put it away. (In to work before 0800) Gail really enjoyed the flight with only one complaint, her bum got numb. I have the standard sling seats and will have to improve on them to make her more comfortable. All in all a great flight with the promise of more to come, Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 [email protected] http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm
