| Chronicles (cont'd)... |
| Above: Holly as a Continental Express Airlines new hire. She flew the Embraer EMB145 regional jet. |
| Below: Matt as a SkyWest Airlines FNG (new hire). About to hop aboard an Embraer EMB120 "Brasilia". Yes, it has props, and Holly's doesn't! Blah blah blah. |
| Right: Matt age 8, Mike age 3... Flying off into the blue skies of the imagination. Poor preflight technique though: Note open oil door on the right side cowling! But more importantly, I wonder what kindsa goodies are in the brown bag aft of the captain's seat?... Right: Matt age 29, Mike age 24... Back from another adventure except this time it's a Seneca II made of aluminum instead of cardboard! |

| Above: Mike solos N53182 and affectionately caresses the tailcone on the ramp at KABQ afterwards. Mike then sucessfully took and passed his PASEL checkride on April 2, 2002. Good job dude. Now you get to make mistakes with passengers on board! Just kidding... We all know every landing is a greaser! |
| Left: Holly and the pax kick back in the cool morning air after arrival at Smiley Creek, Idaho (U87). This is one of the nicest "backcountry" airstrips you'll ever see... 4500+ feet of manicured grass! Fly in and camp out or stay in the lodge... Whatever you do be sure to donate a couple bux to the fund for maintaining the strip - they do a fantastic job! |
