Yes sir, they sure do! Quite the young ladies you have there Steve!

Funny how things change in life from doing things for oneself, to getting those a generation or two behind on the right track.

Best,

Dave

Hence the whole progression of life - we try to make sure the following generations get put on the right track and have it better than we did.

So how long before she starts saying "Uncle Dave, can I borrow the P-Baron?"

 

[Diana]

Dave, please tell Lindsay congratulations from me and Tom.

She knows there are boundaries; told her she'd have to get some Aztec time first .

Best,

Dave

Congratulations to Lindsay and a big, YEE HAW! Congrats to you to, Dave. This is a proud moment for the entire family.

You got it! I'll give her Aztec time if you give me an equal amount of P-Baron time!

You know, when I flew Lance's Baron at Gaston's the different arrangement of throttles/props didn't cause me any issues. I could see where in a high stress situation it could if you were used to a different arrangement, though. One person I know said once he had some A&P students starting up a Baron. They had the throttles and props full forward, so when the engines caught they raced. He instinctively grabbed the furthest left levers... feathering the props. Oops.

Geesh Ted. Equal amount of time? Let me see if I can make that trade with a friend with a C-90 King Air . You drive a hard bargain.

Best,

Dave

What can I say, I'm a businessman. I'm sure we could work something out. I'll take an equal amount of King Air time instead of P-Baron time if that suits you better.

 

[Missa]

WOO HOO Congrats to Lindsay! Anouther one joins the ranks!

...now which one's the throttle again?

Piper, Beech, what-everrr!

Not so much the "backwards" throttle/prop levers, but the backwards gear/flap levers!

 

[AuntPeggy]

Good for her.

 

[Dave Siciliano]

Here's Lindsay with her newly minted temporary PPL.

Best,

Dave

 

[Ted]

She looks happy, as she should!

 

[Missa]

I must be getting old... she looks so young.
