    Your the man JP! You presented them both with a perspective of the world they live, love and work in. This is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives and you are the one they will always remember who took the time to give it to them. I think everyone who has experienced the first flight in a small aircraft remembers who gave them this experience and where they were in their life at that moment in time. Who’s showing who now the big cats. Big cats are great but flying can be as great as an experience as those big kitties!! Continue the adventure. Now if you only had the resources to train them to become commercial pilots. That could bring a new resource to the lodges business model! Big old bush plane.

      I was purchasing a sports car from a guy, while I test driving the car, we drove to his airplane hangar and went flying for a few hours in a 6 passenger airplane, That was my first time ever before flying commercial. I'll never forget it. He showed me how to taxi it to the runway and let met handle the duel controls once we climbed. It's an awesome memory : )

      @MrWATCHthisWAY 3 года назад +2

      @@funches897 - once bitten and if the experience was a positive one you will find was to get up in the air. Mine was my next door neighbor who was a computer programmer. I was 11-12 in the summer of 1972 and he just received his privet so he wanted someone to go with him. After some coaching to my mom she said yes and the rest was history. Two times a week I would fly with him and we would go everywhere out of Gillespie Field between Santee & El Cajon California. I became a Ramp Rat doing everything I could to get into an aircraft. I would ride my bike 2-1/2 miles to be there from sunup to sundown during that summer washing & fueling aircraft. I cleaned a lot of interiors and windscreens and washed lots of aircraft for pilots at Sun Aviation where my neighbor took his lessons. I joined the Navy when I was 16-1/2 so I could fly as a Flight Engineer on P-3 Orion aircraft so I could get the GI Bill for obtaining my Instrument, multi engine and commercial ratings after obtaining my privet pilots license. It was expensive back then too because it’s all relative to the times. People will pay $1,300 for an iPhone or & 30,000 for a new car but $12,000 for a privet pilots license is to expensive. No it’s not just set your priorities and get it. Beg, borrow, steal or work for your time, just get it. Some banks will lend you the money if your credit is good on a personal loan. Make it happen! If you don’t win the contest.

      @MrWATCHthisWAY 3 года назад +1

      @@jakebolger6248 - boy the world has changed since I posted this comment, because we were about to be thrown into a pandemic that would change our lives forever. The world of commercial pilots has become a lot more competitive now because of available slots, but I would still recommend getting ones privet pilots license. Fly, fly, and fly anytime you can. General Aviation has become even safer since I started flying. Navigation in itself has become almost thoughtless with GPS at our fingertips in knowing where one’s self is at all times. My god constantly knowing ground speed, location, direction and all aircraft information on one screen without having to scan all of you gauges is almost mind boggling if you would have told me that general aviation would have aircraft with these capabilities 40 years ago. Then you add a ballistic parachute to the mix as an extra added bonus just in case your engine decides to crap out over an area where landing will become problematic then he’ll yea pull the chute if there’s no roadway to even think about setting it down. These are amazing times and if your operating an aircraft with an automatic landing system, then by all means squawk that 7700 and turn on the auto landing sequence and let it land on its own if the pilot becomes disorientated. The next 30 years are going to be amazing but one thing I can’t get my mind around will be all these electric personal air taxi’s they are wanting to provide for people to go for shot flights. These electric humming birds are going to make a crap load of noise and I don’t think people realize just how much noise they will create. They always show a vehicle with the sound off and some very nice background music. People already complain about general aviation as it is and now add all the small rotors wiping around when these air-taxi’s start flying low overhead? Yea right, for 1-2 people flying short distances in a screaming hummingbird overhead. I have a feeling that people driving in our electric cars aren’t going to be wanting to put up with these loud, screaming small blade rotors tearing through our quiet neighborhoods at 6am when your neighbor decides they need to get to the airport for their flight out. Sorry for the rant but I don’t believe we have thought the whole process out before we’re ready to embrace our future with these electric air-taxi’s. Hell we don’t like it when helicopters fly overhead at 6am now at 14 rotors tearing through the air to pickup a person.

    What a great thing to do for someone. My GF's first flight way back when, I gave her the "big eyes look" as if something was wrong when we started to climb just to mess with her. haha.
