My 1st passenger wet himself........

My instructor also surprised me!!
He came up with a large jerry can (full of water) and strapped that in the co-pilot seat--> to compensate for his weight.

I was very nervous.........when I was about to start my take off roll I noticed a problem with the brakes!
Killed the engine to stop, jumped out, and I was kind of hoping hat it would be postponed till the next day (it was late afternoon).
Alas, he fixed it quickly........and off I went!!

Boy, the weight difference was still incredible!!

Not that I remember the date or anything (have to check it in my pilot log) but the memory sticks, definitely!!

Cheers,
