 Hey, Joe, Bob, Jim, Buly, John, et al
 
You guys who recently flew for the first time.  Your stories would really be inspiring to those out there lurking on the fence.  Sit down and tell us about how you prepped for the flight - what last minute problems you had to fix (if any).  How did it feel lifting off - what gauges gave you the most concern - what were some of the teething problems. What bump/sound make your hear beat faster until you identified what it was.   What would you do different.  What do you have planned for next-step improvements (if any).
 
You guys who didn't have any problems on your first flight  - tell us how that felt.  What do you attribute your no-problem first time flight to.  What do you think you did right and signficant - so you could just sit back and enjoy the flight.
 
Lets see some photos of lift off, landing, taxi, etc.
 
I know you guys could easily write a page which combined with a couple of photos would provide enough material for this issue of CONTACT! to be a rotary -only issue.  Heck, you have a good start with the email you posted to the list telling us about that first flight.   I think having 3-4 first time flight stories in the issue would really show how the rotary community is moving.
 
 
Put down that beer - or perhaps pick up that beer and a pen and start writing/typing/recording for transcriptions. Etc.
 
Thanks
 
Ed
