Long Lunch, But No Time To Eat

A few co-workers and I have talked about flying from time to time, and I've offered to take them up during a long lunch, or after work.

The right day arrived, with nice weather all around, my favorite plane open, and a slightly slower day at work (hard to find these days).

Only one taker. I think the others were waiting to see if he came back in one piece, or with tales of terror and survival.

Chris and I took a quick trip over to Tillamook (TMK), which was surprisingly quiet for such a nice day. Landed, taxied back, and took off. Headed out over the coast, turned north, and over the bay to return home. After announcing our position over the bay, the radio became busy with position reports from others in the area. Suddenly not as quiet as it seemed.

Chris seemed genuinely interested in what was going on, and enjoying the flight, making for a great little trip.

We've since talk more about flight training, and sources for information. 

I think he's hooked.

As a bonus, it was also two years to the day of my intro flight at Twin Oaks.
