Jill's First Flight Adventure

Well, maybe not a big adventure but we did go somewhere, bumped into an old friend, and took a peek at a new civilian surveillance airplane in development at Greene County. The route of the flight was Dayton Wright Brothers airport (KMGY) to Caesar's Creek to the Springfield airport (KSGH) to the Greene County airporty (I19) then back to KMGY.

I was thrilled to be able to take Jill flying. I have often shared my stories with her and now she can relate with me better. One of the most exciting things to experience as a pilot is getting the chance to give someone their first flight in a small, general aviation aircraft. It's a lot different than taking a ride on an airliner. You get a front-seat view, can go wherever you want, and you can fly low enough to actually see landmarks and familiar places.
