I flew with Mike in Texas in his plane! It was great and he was such a good pilot.

No....link?

But yes, I should not be a pilot, because I am "poor" and can't afford to fly very often. If I didn't live in California, I wouldn't like flying as much. We have such varied terrain (ocean, lakes, mountains, populated and un-populated land). I get lost on land a lot, but in air - we are lucky...

No. That's because, among other things, I'm a personal assistant to a CEO. Recently, he was away on business and asked me to help with the routine maintenance of his Audi Q7. When at the dealership, they were shocked when I told them it sat outside (in CA weather) for 2 weeks and didn't need...

Thanks for flying for Pilots and Paws. One day I hope to do the same (if my flight school will let me put animals in the plane).

I love stories like this. I fly for Young Eagles and Angel Flight but I really want to do Pilots and Paws. Thank you for doing this!

These were my exact thoughts. I realize I am pretty much alone in my thoughts here, but my car has roll down (hand cranked) windows, and manual doorlocks. Heck, a manual gear box as well (stick shift). In general, I like low and slow airplanes with very simple systems (including fixed gear)...

Another female pilot! Welcome! I think there was a thread here a while ago on spreading ashes via plane . . . do you have a special method of doing so? Do you take up the loved ones while you spread ashes and say special words over the intercom?

Post here how it goes. To date, my favorite passengers are first timers. As much as is safe, I let them participate in everything from the flight planning to the pre flight to the actual flying of my rental plane. I would not still be flying today if I didn't get to share it with others. Young...

In regards to flying commercial, I often go 0.5 - 1 or even 3 years without doing so (I can't afford the airfare). But yes, not only do I relax more now when I fly commercial (I used to be scared on takeoff and landing), but I always say "hello" and "goodbye" to my pilots, sometimes track the...

Yes, privately owned 182 and private hangar. Beautiful red leather couches, I just love seeing what people do with their "airplane homes".

I ride horses (and care for 50 horses as a volunteer on weekends). This is EXACTLY what I thought when watching this video. Funny. I can just imagine the pooper scooper men, risking getting run over, cleaning the streets. Then again, now I remember, horses did have poop bags they could...

The most awesome aviation restaurant (so far) that I've been to. I had the blackened salmon salad (Watsonville airport, restaurant on / near transient parking):

Here is one (yes, the whale is the tiny white dot, and yes, the windows in her 182 need to be washed - which I did after we landed):

I have landed at a class Charlie before (and stayed in the plane and taken off again). I have hosted my plane at an FBO before at a Delta or Charlie. This was my first Charlie departure, as in, getting through the drive gate (needed escort), parking (needed written permit from airport), going...

One of my favorite episodes. I think they called it spotting Americans in the wild.

I hosted a German guy. Friend of a friend. We hit 10-20 places in less than a day and I had him home by dinner.

Oh and Fisherman's Wharf I avoid at all costs. Try Golden Gate Park, or the Embarcadero and Ferry Building.

PS - I've hosted many POA pilots (Troy, Brian, Mari, others) Flew them all too.

Call me. I can drive you around (for a half day or so). I can fly you over the Golden Gate Bridge. Free. 7077996314 I'm born and raised in SF for 20 years, wine country for 10. I work in Sausalito. Kimberly
