My first flight of the day at 8:30 am had 94% humidity, wheeeew that's moist. It was a flight review with someone I hadn't flown with before, had his own airplane, a Cherokee 160. He is a Private Pilot with 180 hours and wanted to get more comfortable in it, and wanted to do stalls. So we went up and started with steep turns, then went into power off stalls clean, power off stalls dirty, turning power off stalls, falling leaf stalls, went into power on stalls, and did deliberately uncoordinated falling leaf stalls so a wing would drop and he'd have to recover with his rudder. By the time we were done, he was a lot more relaxed and comfortable with the plane and what it could do and what he could do with it. And the whole time we were doing it, there was a big rainbow right out the window. It was a whole 180 degree rainbow for awhile, a double rainbow, and it stayed there the whole time we were up maneuvering. It was really pretty, and of course the photos I took don't do it justice.
At 1 pm I took Ann to the doctor for a blood draw. We went in at 1 pm, and we were out by 1:09 pm. I forgot the paperwork. Afterwards I took her through Culver's for a treat, and then ran the paperwork back out to the doctor's. I went to go to the bank to deposit a check that isn't going through on mobile deposit, and today is the one day the bank is closed for "updates". Brother.
Another flight from 6-8 pm, a currency flight. He wanted to do some aggressive maneuvering too, we did regular Lazy 8's, almost aerobatic Lazy 8's, 70 degree bank turns, wingovers, zero G, just messing around for a little relaxation for him. He'd been having a rough time at work, and wanted a little break, and air therapy does the job.
Rainbows, Rainbows for an hour...
