Gene's first flight in his airplane!

My partner and I have just given up and decided that it's OK for each of us to call N224DH "MY PLANE". Sorting out the finances is not an issue and neither of us is sensitive about it. And the real power in our universe (OUR WIVES) are encouraged to call it their plane also!
Gene finally got the combination of time off and weather to go flying. The original plan was to do some pattern work and then go around the lake for airwork with him at the controls, but the ceilings were a little low. We had no problems staying clear of cloud (since we were in the pattern, that's all we needed. If we had left the pattern, we needed 500 feet below the clouds and we would have been too low over the city, hence the change in plans). I demonstrated six good landings including wake turbulence avoidance and go-arounds. Maximum performance climbs are jet-like and fun! Only stayed in the pattern for 30 minutes, but Gene was happy!
It looks like the weather today (Sunday) is gonna suck all day, so I'll be working on database subscriptions and loads.
