So, wife and I did the first fligt.

Forecasts called for iso tsra into the afternoon. We were scheduled for noon to 2. The plan was for a 20-30 minute flight to an airport with a fabulous bbq restaurant rignt on tthe runway.

It clouded up as we got to the airport but metars and tafs indicated that ceilings would be 040-060 with rain later.

So we went. She was tense upon takeoff but I was too busy to deal with it for a few minutes. The destination airport was private so it wasn't listed on my plane's GPS but it was on my tablet's Avilution. Still had trouble finding it, it was a small airport.

I turned base too early so I was high so I tried to slip. She asked if flying sideways was normal.

All in all, she had a good time. She was very impressed with my training and will be flying again.
