Trent Takes the Controls

clock March 19, 2008 15:21 by author Bill Williams

Here is a quick video from Trent's and my flight.  My favorite part..."Do the brakes work up here?"

You can hear the ATIS for Chandler (CHD) about halfway through the clip, if you are interested.  This is the first time Trent had ever been in a small plane before...let alone fly one.  Good job, Trent.

Trent and I Go Flying

clock March 18, 2008 22:21 by author Bill Williams

Trent and I went over to Chandler Airport today and jumped in a Cherokee 160 (with a CFI), and took a quick trip down to Casa Grande.  We didn't do this to go to Casa Grande, mind you, but for the experience itself.  You see, I'm starting my training for my Private Pilot certificate, and hopefully Trent isn't too far behind.  :)  It was a good time...and I'm excited as all get out to finally be doing my training.  Here are a couple of pics.

 

Trent is getting ready to take the controls (after the CFI, Brian, gets us into the air).

 

 

Here's a shot while Trent is flying from the south of Chandler looking north.  You can see I-17 running diagonally through the picture.  The Cherokees are low wing aircraft, so the pesky wings seem to always get in the way.
