19th first-time flier

This evening I got the chance to fly with a family I met recently.

Their son was out of town so we filled the C172 up with the Dad, Mom, and daughter. The daughter flew right seat and got a bit of time at the wheel. She did a terrific job and seemed to have fun doing it! She was my 19th first-time-in-a-small plane passenger! I truly enjoy being a GA (general aviation) ambassador. It's just too much fun not to share. :)

The weather was very cooperative for the flight - I was expecting a few bumps from thermals but we actually found very few.

Hey I'd like to get in touch with whoever posted the Beth McKeown Weblog on the McKeown family. I'm a distant relative and have some old McKeown photographs I'd like to try to get identified since I haven't seen any McKeowns since the late 70s! Can you email me at dial_zero@yahoo.com to get in touch?

Thanks
Greg Matthews (a great-grand nephew of John Stevenson McKeown)

There is little more rewarding than taking someone up for their first flight in a small airplane. Unless of course they hate it and get sick in the plane.
