I took a flight in a Warrior with instructor out of Petaluma CA last Novemeber.

Although I already had my FAA paperwork, I would have needed a checkflight to take an a/c solo and with only one day free to fly, I was happy to have the Instructor along.


More than happy actually, he handled the radio and talked to SF, got us routed over the Golden Gate + 500ft, around the bay, past downtown SF, over Alcatraz AND San Quentin, and back to Petaluma. It was a great flight which Mrs Hum caught on DV from the back seat.
Dick the instructor had his seat so far reclined, he was almost in the back too. And he entered the flight in my logbook P1!


Well worth the modest cost - about $75ph for the Warrior + fuel at about $3.50 per USgal (from memory). Oh, plus $50 ph for Dick.


recommended!
