First flight in Grob 103 glider!

This is Simeen's first time flying in a glider. About 20 years ago, I convinced her to sign a promissory note that she would go up with me one day. I saved that note all these years, and today I cashed it in! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click on the Bell!

Good stuff Richard! Maybe the next trip down to FSI, I’ll take a lesson!

Thanks, Ryan!

Nice flight. The Grob 103 is a nice comfy glider to fly and a great glider to take guests up with. I usually let the guest sit in the front though, so that they can have a better view (they don't really need to see the back of my head), and also so that I can keep an eye on them to make sure they are doing alright.
Did you get many folks to sign promissory notes that need to be cashed in?

[@airfoiled]

Thank you! I don't think that we take third party certificates for flights.

[@TammieSearles]

You look like you know what you're doing Richard.

[@airfoiled]

I'm glad I appear convincing, Tammie 😂

*_You_* cashed it in! Why didn't she? She seems pretty clearly tickled for the whole thing, and she doesn't hesitate to try flying herself.

[@airfoiled]

Yes, because initially she didn't want to go and I had made her promise that she would someday.... so by cashing it in, I meant holding her to her word in case she was still hesitant... haha

[@77thTrombone]

@@airfoiled I'm glad she was delighted.
And glad you're soaring. I used too see gliders all the time when I was a kid, even on the highway (in trailer, not landing!) Now, never.
