Never had a harvest with this long a stretch of dry, clear weather. After 3 weeks of long days, my wife wanted to go to her cousin's baby shower, and I was ready for a break, so we took the day off.
Of course it was blowing 19g26, split right began our perpendicular runways. In my plane I'd feel okay about flying in this, but it's still in the shop, so it was the Cessna. I went anyway. I'm not sure if 3 weeks is the longest I've gone without flying, but it's close. It was fun. The landings were challenging, but I didn't bend anything.
I took the boy as he got left behind when all the girls went to the party. Let him "fly" it a bit. He ate it up. I think he might be the only kid to get the bug. We'll see. As much as I hate the 172, the visibility and it's low & slow nature does make it good for sightseeing and getting the kids more interested. I like cruising above the clouds, but they want to see the ground.
