My flying skills have reached the next level

So I was flying home along the lake the yesterday and as has become my custom I fly reasonable close to the house boats and wave. If they wave back and encourage me I will often circle back and skim the water as I go by to brighten their day. ( or at least I assume that it does from all the waving and cheering)

Yesterday I reached a new level, my flying was so good it knocked their shirts off :D

Unfortunately being new to this level of skill I found my self distracted, lost contact with the water and drifted slightly off course.... I guess this just proves what they say that you are never good enough and have to always keep learning....

Don't worry though I consider my self a committed student of aviation and plan to keep practicing as long and as often as it takes until I can completely ignore such distractions and stay focused on my flying :P

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

+1... But have someone else take the pics while you're skiing. That will let you concentrate on not being distracted! :wink:

Re: My flying skills have reached the next level

In July while taxiing to the seaplane dock after landing at Lake Union, I was busy trying to avoid all of the nutty kayakers, paddle boarders, sailboats, etc. We were passing a large yacht populated with several young women, but as I said, I was busy. My instructor said, "those girls are topless!" I said, "I'm busy, can't look." He said, "I have the airplane--you need to look." I did. Yup, topless--and very nice. Thank you, Bob!

Sorry, my camera was in the back seat, but my "memory camera" stored it. Now if I could just figure out how to plug my brain into the computer--oh well, use your imaginations. ;)

I'm confused (which is usually the norm) But when I click on this link it says, not authorized to read. I have still yet to navigate to this phantom hot air section.
