Ryan, taking your wife along on this flight reminded me of the first time I took my wife up in a Cessna150 after I got my PPL, over 40 years ago. It was a short, smooth, scenic flight. After we landed, I asked how she enjoyed the experience. She said, and I quote, "I don't see how anyone, in his right mind, would do this willingly." (BTW, we've been happily married for 61+ years.) So, "To each his own". Blessings to you and your family.

Just loved meeting your wife. Please tell her that 50 years ago in Boroko there were a couple of boutiques that sold the most beautiful clothes and sandals. I bought all of my clothes there. Also in Steamies they had the best modern furniture you could imagine buying all the way from England.. So we had back then boutiques, our house furnished with English modern furniture and the real flokati rugs from Greece, we wanted for nothing. Those were the best days before independence. For you Ryan back then no trash littered the streets or anywhere. It was so clean.

[@TheNWaite]

Agreed with most of what you have said @Juliereid . I recall when they opened the new multi storey Brian Bell Shopping Plaza in Boroko and people came from everywhere to marvel at the escalators as they had never seen moving steps before. There were only two sets of traffic lights in the entire city too.

I say this from the perspective of a patriotic U.S. citizen: Any American that can travel abroad or better yet immerse themselves for weeks/months in another country/culture, do it. It is the absolute best way to open your eyes, your heart, and just reset your perspective! You become so aware of how good we have it….and also that we get many things wrong. All of humanity is connected, all more alike than we are different. You can be both patriotic and appreciative of other countries and cultures at the same time, regardless of where you call home.

Your wife sounds similar to my wife - no interest in flying. She loves the utility of airplanes, but has no desire to learn to fly. Even when I was teaching 'co-pilot' for sig-others class, she just didn't care to learn all the technical and procedural stuff (which I love).

Greetings from Canada Howard Williams! I'm a wife and a pilot ! Hubby flies too. I was a Tow Pilot, flying a 180 Scout, towing gliders out of a 2,000 ft. grass strip with hydro wires at one end...lol But the landing in this video is not one I'd like to try anytime soon that's for sure. I must say though, that in my personal opinion, every power pilot should become a gliderpilot first.

Good to finally meet your better half! When I was in PNG, I remember having to get some of the girls in the dorm to cut my hair since there were no barbers. Chelsea has a good important ministry. Also, when I left PNG, I took the best clothes that I had, but they were not in style here in the U.S. Felt awkward. I've been in aviation for 35 yrs., and my wife isn't interested in aviation either. They say opposites attract. Excellent videos!
