Can't beleive it is November
« on: November 22, 2006, 05:36:48 PM »
I was off crossing duty as all schools were closed for the Thanksgiving weekend.  So I took Emmy and her sister Willow with me to the flying field.  Let Emmy fly first and she was flying so low she touched the ground a couple of times, also was doing wing overs.  Then we started with Willow who has never flown before.  I took her up for a couple of tanks.  Then a break so I could fly the Oriental.  Then Emmy again flying.  Then Emmy told me she would go out with Willow.  On the first tank with Emmy helping she wqs on her own before the third lap.  Then it was take turns flying.  I was ready to roll up lines when Willow said she wanted to fly once more.  Don't know what happened as I was opening the needle to keep the plane slow.  It is the old Flying Clown with a Fox 15 Schneurle and 7-4 nylon prop.  It was flying longer than before.  About 15 laps after it was supposed to quit the plane pancaked right in front of me.  Willow finally got dizzy.  Looks like I now have another pilot to work with.  Later,  DOC Holliday

That sounds great, Doc.  I hope to be doing something similar with my Grandkids before too long!  How old are the girls?  My oldest is 6 and her little brother is 2 next week!

Yep, it is November and Thanksgiving.......... Happy Thanksgiving!  Sounds like you already have a bunch to be thankful for.  y1

Hey Doc,
Nice to see you are still working with your grand children.  I do wish you would keep the cold weather up in the KC area.

Take care and keep up the good work.
