Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

Getting back into the air.

I have met a guy from my daughter's soccer team. I have two girls and so does he that play on the team. Come to find out he is a commercial pilot and has several airplanes. He alos happens to be an instructor to boot. Real nice guy and is very down to earth. He invited me out to go flying and we took his Citabria up for a spin the other day. He let me fly from the front and I attempted a couple of landings. I have never flown a tandem seat airplane before but I need to since my Dad has the Rocket. One of these days I need to fly that thing and get proficient in it. Anyways, I didn't crash it but I wasn't that great either. I'll need to get the coordination down flying with the right hand/throttle with the left. It will come with more time. I need to get with Mike (the instructor) and build some time in his airplane and then get with Dad and go for spin in the Rocket. Mike wants a Rocket ride real bad as well!
