So my first comment disappeared......LOL no problem. So my first comment disappeared... sigh... I shouldn't run computers this late at night. We had a great time taking Jackie, her boyfriend, and Zyola Mix (one of the co-hosts of the Mile High Flyers podcast and herself an aviator but with her struggle to find a job right now, not actively flying), up for an hour flight in N1279M, my STOL-equipped C-182 on Sunday from CENTENNIAL Airport (KAPA) near Denver, CO! Quite the appropriate Airport name, eh? ;-) Jackie is a morning on-air personality at KOSI Radio here in Denver. Since we were also recording audio for the podcast, I talked too much (gee, a podcast host talking too much -- who would have guessed?!), but dead air doesn't make for good podcast material, ya know? Jackie was fairly quiet, taking it all in, but I handed over 79M in cruise to Jackie, complete with proper control hand-off and explanation, and then got some great "That's amazing!" moments on the recording from Jackie. I had a GREAT time participating in this, and look forward to any other flights that "need" to be made! Taking new folks up to the sky is awesome. Jackie's website for her work at the radio station is here: http://blogs.kosi101.com/jackie/ -- Both Jackie and her friend were super nice folks, and big thanks to Zyola for finding Jackie and setting up the flight. I can only wish that we didn't have the oh-so-lovely 1970's "Goldenrod" colored and aged interior in our poor old 1975 Cessna, but as I mentioned during the pre-flight... 79M is well-maintained and flys great. Just kinda ugly on the inside! (New rule: Rent a Cirrus for these things! Ha! Nah... 79M is our "baby".) The other co-owners of 79M have said they're up for flying some folks too, so if you hear of more interest in the Denver, CO area... send 'em our way! We'll be putting up the audio as a special podcast episode of Mile High Flyers soon, too! (Now you probably understand... 'cause this comment should have shown up before the one above... but somehow I clicked wrong and goofed it all up!

Those must be Zyola Mix's words, who is also a co-host of the Mile High Flyers podcast, and coordinated having Jackie come out to the airport for the flight. That cheesy line about "nibble" of aviation and trying to get Jackie to take a "bite" comes across as very awkward, especially considering that we had a frank discussion over dinner after the flight about how chauvinistic males can sometimes be about aviation! I'd rather see it attributed appropriately to Zyola. Coming from Zyola with her writing skills and island girl nature, it's a great line. Coming from me... not so much!Nate Duehr (denverpilot)http://www.milehighflyers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-17101058565779294792010-12-06T23:27:56.765-08:002010-12-06T23:27:56.765-08:00Patti, your description of the sky is phenomenal. ...Patti, your description of the sky is phenomenal.

At last count today, I heard there were over 115 woman/girls that had taken their first flight from the Renton Municipal Airport, me being one of them!! Now, I'm writing you back to have you enter my name in the $100 drawing and keeping my little fingers crossed! My experience in the Cessna Cirus flight with the former VP of Boeing was an AMAZING experience!! We had some butterbly deliveries from air pockets, he was so kind and let our little 10-yr old "co-pilot"participate in his flight explanations, and we even got to do a second pass at the airport because we were too close to landing with another airplane. The colors and details from the air were breathtaking!! We also enjoyed the way the descending sun caused a sliver of clouds to glow, like they were on fire!!! Thank for you pulling this grand event together and I aplaud you and your team for a successful "1st" in women-in-aviation!!
