Nathan's Birthday Flight


These are pictures from Nathan's Birthday flight.

Yes, he is actually at the controls with my Instructor Mark.  I get to check things out from the back seat...  Also, Nathan could not see over the panel.  He was sitting on 2 seat cushions so Mark had to help with the rudder pedals.

Mark did a fantastic job with talking Nathan through everything.  We went out south from Craig and then headed to the beach.  From there we flew up the beach till about JTB and then headed back in with a straight in approach to 32.  Mark is a great instructor!
