I had a lot of fun tonight. A former co-worker, Van Ellis, is on the conversion crew in Longview. They have the same 2nd line manager as I. We work very closely with that crew when we do the type of work we are doing now. Anyway, Van has an airplane. We took a little ride in it today. It was alot of fun. I have sent some pictures on to some of the people who read this blog. You can see how much fun it is. I have never been in that small of an airplane. I got to do the preflight check with Van. I had a list of items that I read and when he had completed each item he said: "check". I felt like a real co-pilot. I was very careful not to grab the controls in front of me. I was concerned one grab and I would send the craft into an uncontrollable spin. More later. I am sleepy. I had a very big day today.
