Sorry that this is way off topic but I'm kind of excited because now  

N104CD has an official co-pilot....ME!  Yes, the little lady now not  

only wears the pants in the house but in the cockpit too, since she's  

now a pilot!

It's one thing to have the support of (or, at least, no hostility  

from)  your wife while building your plane.  It's something else  

entirely when she gets her license.



Congrats to both of you.

Tim,



Congratulations to your wife!!



My wife soloed just over a week ago and is working on her cross country

requirements.  It will be great to have two licensed pilots in the cockpit.

Congrats Tim!



My wife just finished her PhD last week.  Now that she has all this free

time, I'm trying to figure out how to get her a PPL too.  



I'm jealous.

Way to go Andrea! I am always impressed with anyone that says they want

to fly and actually... go through with it. It's so easy to want & wish

and dream but to actually do it puts us in the 2% club. I can't wait for

OSH 2011 when Tim is driving the camper while Andrea is bringing in

N104CD for a greaser on 09. 



Great news,

Robin

That is great! My wife keeps asking "what does Tim's wife do when he flies 

everywhere?" I hate to have to tell her that now she flies.. now my wife is 

going to want to get her license.



Congratulate her for us!

That's great Tim.....  I was able to listen to all the other comments because I got home late after flying to another airport and being picked up for a golf outing.... that being said... here's what I heard at the airport back when I was a REAL newbee and still building..... There's 3 categories of wives/girl friends;  the first hates airplanes, will never fly with you, and tells you so (daily); the second, early on, make you believe that they like it, and even go for a few flights.  Then when the hook is set, they let you know what they really think.... same as the first category;  Then there's the last category, which fortunately for you and me, is what we have.  They want to go almost every time, and will fight  for their favorite seat.

 Now you will have to even fight for the left seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Luckily for me, at least for the present, Kim just wants to learn enough to get it on the ground if something happens to me.

  

 Congrats again.

Hi again all,

I just wanted to say "thanks" on behalf of Andrea.  I've sent

her all of your comments and both of us appreciate it.  Many

of the comments are right on...it's usually one thing to get

a girl who is tolerant of flying or building, but a whole other

thing when they're willing to help build, and actually follow

through with learning how to fly themselves.  Hopefully

having more women in aviation will also keep boosting the

overall participation by people in general, because the best

thing we can do for longevity of the hobby and many more

aspects of plane ownership is to add more new pilots to the

world.

Thanks again for all the on and off list replies.  I've not

answered much on them myself, just forwarded them off to her

to bring a smile here and there.

To answer cjay's question, she finished in that leased Cherokee

that I got this summer.  So for this season, that plane

saw two women get their certificates, and now that we're

done with it, we're still keeping it for a bit for them to

keep current, and there's a local guy who's going to use it

to start his training too. So it's great to see people getting

into it.  The Cherokee is a real dog compared to an RV, but

it's making a great trainer, and at $32/hr dry, I can't

beat the price.  I figure $125/hr to fly my RV-10 if I be

realistic.

This winter/spring I'm going to keep my eyes open for a

nice used RV-7A or 9A, if I can pick one up at a real bargain,

and have that for them to build time in.  Even with Andrea

having a private pilot certificate, adding her on to

the RV-10 policy will significantly increase the insurance

rate, and, truthfully, it's an expensive enough plane that

I'm not going to turn a new pilot loose with it. So a

nice little RV-7/9A would be something they could build

more hours in.  Plus, it never hurts to have another plane

to have around to play with.  I love flying side-by-sides.

What's this "A" stuff   



All real pilots know that for one and two place airplanes that little round thingie goes in back, not up front.
