New Pilot

As new events in our lives change everything, it gives us a chance to look back and reflect on how much they meant to us. My flying days are ending, so I pulled out my log book and started to look back. I will try to post one adventure a day depending on how I feel.

Today’s adventure is about a new 72 hour TT Pilot in a rented Skyhawk. Deb and I loaded up Becky (10) and Kristin (6) to go to the World’s Fair in Knoxville TN. First stop Louisville Ky. Downtown Airport arriving after dark in a busy environment. I was confused lining up on the wrong airport. KLOU and SDF have similar runways, but the controllers caught me right away. While I was looking at the map trying to figure out what I messed up, Deb asked from the back seat who was flying? I pointed at Becky and that is when Deb started reading maps! Bright and early the next day we were off to the Fair!

The next day we spent a few hours at the Fair and then to the mountains. Needless to say we should have done better due diligence on the Knoxville Worlds Fair!
