Short Flight Over Herriman

Today was another first.  Arlene’s brother, Allen and his wife Shirleen came for a visit.  We drove to the airport and I took Allen up for a short flight.  We did a touch and go and then flew out over Herriman to the south.  I was very pleased with the performance of the RV-12.   This is the first time I have had a full grown man in the passenger seat.  Allen and I are about the same size and I had 17 gallons of fuel on board.  That made us pretty close to gross weight.  The RV-12 flew exceptionally well.  We had a great time.  After the flight Arlene took our picture.  Then Arlene and Shirleen climbed in and I took their picture.
