Audrey and I were able to go flying on Sunday together, our first just the two of us.Our drive was under high thin cirrus, until a ¼ mile from the airport…Fog…no where else, just over the airport. How does that happen?... so we checked in with the Starks, let them know we’d get a snack, and be back in bit to check conditions.
Off to Starbucks for coffee, hot chocolate, and a cookie.
After 45 minutes the fog was well in the process of thinning out, so we began to preflight, and took off into a nice morning sky.With our original plan was shortened due to foggy conditions, and just over an hour before we needed to be back on the ground, we kept to the Willamette Valley, with a stop at Mulino (4S9).
Audrey enjoyed the front seat, which can be adjusted for height, giving her the ability to easily see out the window, and the cows and horses below. I couldn’t tell the difference from 2000ft, but evidently Audrey can.
Audrey was able to demonstrate her flying skills for a few minutes, her focus clearly seen in the last photo. She did a fine job of keeping us straight and level.
It was sure nice.
