The Vertical Challenge Adventure!

[scottessex]

Great story Vance, looks like it was a great adventure.

 

[Vance]

Thank you Scott, It was a great adventure for me.

I learned a lot, there was excitement and challenge and the goal was accomplished without undue hardship or expense.

It was better than I imagined it could be.

Life treats me well.

Thank you, Vance

Vance, I love your detailed descriptions of your flights, they are awe-some!. I find you an amazing man, what you've accomplished the last year or two is a inspiration to me, and at my age I'm not easily inspired.

 

[Vance]

I am glad to have you along Jay.

That is a very nice compliment.

I love writing about the adventures and I learn from it.

I have found great support and inspiration on this fourm.

Thank you, Vance

The thread should be titled "Vance's excellent adventure"

I like the way that you describe things so eloquently, You do have a gift for writing.

 

[Vance]

Thank you Scott, I find value in the sharing.

I am glad you like it.

We diverge on the title.

Thank you, Vance

I went flying tonight with Ed and something felt different.

I had trouble putting my finger on what made this trip such a learning step.

Both my landings and takeoffs were better but that wasn’t it.

What made this trip different is I had so many choices.

In the past it has pretty much been go or no go.

This trip was about making choices on what is happening now and what I want to accomplish. It was about degrees, not black and white.

The fog chased us inland; I could turn around or go over the ridgeline.

I had to manage airspace, wind and fog.

I was unfamiliar and I didn’t want to get lost.

I felt like I had become a sentient pilot.

Tonight I had better control and I flew from my heart.

I love progress.

Thank you, Vance

I went flying tonight with Ed and something felt different.

I thought he was going to profess his never-ending love for me...Geezzz

What made this trip different is I had so many choices.

I see that too when I go Flying with Him. It's like oh well we can't go there so we'll go here! No Problem!

In the past it has pretty much been go or no go.

This to was very true...but no longer!

This trip was about making choices on what is happening now and what I want to accomplish. It was about degrees, not black and white.

It was what it really means to be a pilot!

The fog chased us inland; I could turn around or go over the ridgeline.

We are soaring to new heights these days...it's been a year ago this week since I first flew with Vance and I have to say we are like Peas & Carrots or salt and Pepper it all belongs together because it is from the heart!

I love progress.

Me too Snooks!

Here are some of our from the Heart Pictures! I feel like we are the giants in this vastness that just goes on forever! I king of the world...LOL
Well we are off to fly now and what a gorgeous day it is for flying!

Cheers! Sgurl*Ed
