Just wanted to post an update. I have, since starting this thread been fortunate to accompany one of the aircraft owners on an Angel Flight he undertook. On the last leg to our home airport, after farewelling our passenger and relieving ourselves, as we strolled to the aircraft he offered for me to take the LHS and fly us home. I had been enjoying being a pax for once and the thought of piloting us home hadnt even crossed my mind. Being totally unprepared, I politely declined his offer, but did fly from wheels up until toc from RHS. I feel humbled by this guy, he has a shade under 10,000hrs in his logbook, in all types from Yaks to HS125, Lears etc. etc.
This Commanche being his personal aircraft from a stable of 3 or 4 inc a 200hp a side twin commanche, I humbly decline from asking him to use it personally, but will take him up on his offer to fly it, with himself onboard, should it be offered again. I am hopeful it will, as I have been asked to accompany him again in the near future.
