Teaching Ariel to fly
Ok, I can't keep quiet any longer. Ariel has had all winter to read her books. Plus, the airplanes have spent most of the time in the hangars so she has had plenty of time to learn where things are inside the cockpit. I spent many an hour sitting in an airplane identifying all the knobs and switches and it didn't cost a cent. Then when flying it was much easier. She didn't know that you push the throttle IN to increase power when flying the Cessna 207. And why teach her to fly in an airplane that size? It's big and heavy and burns a lot of fuel. Surely there is a 172, a 182 or a Piper around she could learn in. She also couldn't find the flap button on the Super Cub. I like the show a lot and hope she learns how to fly before the series is over.
