Flying With My Parents!

so this Easter my parents came to visit me at college and it was the first time they had seen me in about 13 weeks so my parents my mother or they were really excited to see me especially my mother so between when I saw him last and Easter I actually became a private pilot so I decided that I'd get to take them up for a sightseeing trip out over Smith Mountain Lake and this was also my first time getting to record a flight shows a lot of firsts and to top it all off my mom had never been in a small plane before so sit back and enjoy a lot of firsts from my family and me clear prop right now you'll be able to hear all right testing testing okay great mama can hear me all right put your mic up to about seemed kissing distance play a lot of people like this but no no no no no not like that oh so what up pocket you can hear me now yes I can hear you mama move your money yep I can hear you good all right so good all right so we're gonna go and with the flaps and take off we're gonna go on run wait so we need 2,500 we have 7,000 100 okay we're gonna head out at 3,500 feet I didn't see on the runway I'll pull on over idle and it's the off it possible if we're in the air I'll pitch for 68 knots and land on the runway in front of us if there's not runway in front of us I have filled so that I can land in front of us were over at thousand feet AGL I'll turn around and land on the runway behind this ruler land on runway one seven three five all right I'm gonna take break off on my test my toe breaks real fast my plates are good all right and I'm gonna give ground a call oh don't talk hey let's for ground Liberty 173 nobody 173 very very on the mornin mornin Liberty 173 is that freedom south with Delta we're gonna have a be apart apart sir out over sets out like today and we are ready to deck what out of here is your lake sir let's take 2,500 every 173 others for there are only two -

we won 7-3 with a full stop my first our Liberty 173 is until breakdown one for Juke you Liberty 173 of one way to to clear the land wind 2 3 0 add 1 zeros taken away place clear to land I've got the sky on earth would be 1 2 3 Liberty 173 be advised no need to respond try to land this side of Bravo two to be able to exit there's a aircraft broke down beat actuate alright I'll do my best so the flight was a little shorter than I really wanted mom and dad had to get back to Kentucky and I didn't get to do all my maneuvers for fear of making my mom kill me which would have been bad but it was a blast and having your parents as your first passengers as a pilot is one of the most rewarding things ever because these are the people that brought you into this world and now you really get to bring them into your world so it may not have been my ideal flight but I wouldn't have had it any other way
