Default Flew with RocketMan99...and survived

I had a the pleasure of flying 4 days out of Ithaca with Ed (RocketMan99). Other than our disagreement about golf being a sport (which it most certainly IS) it went well.

I had fun, he taught me a lot and I had my first 40 knot direct xwind landing in the Saab.

He liked me sooo much that he's coming back Monday too.

You're next Cruise!

Congrats on surviving the past 4 days! I'm sure it was a struggle.

Yeah, we're due for another flight.....this time in the Saab.

You keep threatening to come fly out of Siberacuse. I'll believe it when I see it......just like everything else in aviation.

Next time you gotta start singing that "Rocket Man" song, he'll appreciate that over the headset.
