My Friend Simon has been shopping for an airplane. Well, he found one he wanted to go look at today. So, My friend Emery offered to fly him to go look at it. Our Friend Ron, came along also.
I got to fly in a Baron this time. It's a cool airplane. Nice and cozy. We went to Lakeview Airport to look at an airplane. My friend Simon spent all day looking at an airplane, but he decided he had to think more, so we came back. So far, Simon hasn't found an airplane that suits his needs.
Maybe next time he'll find one, Maybe I can tag along on the trip.

First flight with commercial pilots
8/28/08-9/6/08
Well, this was a really fun trip! I got to fly with my friend Matt, in his King Air. Matt is a commercial pilot. He picked me up in Palestine and we flew to Dallas. We got to navigate around 2 thunderstorms. While in Dallas we went to Lake Grapevine and spent the day. It was lots of fun.
It was more than a week later before I got to come home, and I was getting kind of homesick. It was real interesting to me though flying in and out of Class B airspace. Man there was a lot of conversing back and forth with the controllers. And they don't like it if you aren't paying attention. I heard them talk to some guys who weren't paying attention. They must be new at this flying thing. Not me, I'm becoming and old pro. Take me with you on your next trip.
Went Fishing!
8/23/08
What a great day!
Today my friend John took me for a ride in his 172. We went from Palestine to Palacios Texas. It's another town on the coast. We went fishing in the bay and had a grand ole time. He also brought his friend Shane with him. It was a great day to hang out with "the boys". We caught us some nice reds.
When we came home, it wasn't such a fun flight. My friend John left the window open the whole time, and I got a bit of a sunburn. But hey, Flying sure is fun. As of now, I have 9.4 hours in an airplane.
First IFR flight!
8/15/08
Wow, It's been awhile since I got to fly. I almost Forgot how much fun it is! Today my friend Cheryl and her 2 sons took her Husband Rob to go pick up their piper Cub. She let me tag along. We flew in their Bonanza! (That's a really great plane).
The weather wasn't so great today. It was cloudy and rainy, and I was really dissapointed because I didn't think we would get to go. But we did, because Cheryl is instrument rated. So, I got to see what it was like to make my first IFR flight. We took off on Runway 18. There was light rain. We went to Sulphur Springs Texas. We dropped her husband Rob off, and one of her sons so they could fly his Piper Cub home. (Maybe someday I can fly in that airplane, but I'm a little skeptical of the open cockpits)
When we left Sulphur Springs, the weather was much improved. We flew that VFR. there was still some light to moderate rain, but it was still a nice flight. We took off on Runway 18 and landed in Palestine on runway 36. This was a fun flight.
I really liked flying in the Bonanza. The best part, one of Cheryl's sons signed my log book. That signature is a keeper!!!

First Airplane Ride!
7/12/2008
Wooh-hooh! Today I got to take my VERY FIRST airplane ride. I was so excited. My friend Johnny took me up in his Bellenca S. Viking. Wow! What a plane! We flew from Palestine to Port Aransas Texas! I didn't know the Texas Coast was so interesting. It was a really great flight. It's great to have friends like Johnny. I hope I get to fly with him again soon. Wonder where the next place I will go is?
