My wife goes for her first flight

Recently, I was signed off by Jeff Mountain for completion of the Sport Pilot requirements in a Legend Cub. A few weeks later weather improved enough for me to take my wife, Liz, on her first flight in a light plane. She also became my very first passenger (that was not an instructor). It was a perfect day, wind was 0-2 mph straight down the runway, nice and clear, and little thermal activity. I couldn’t have picked a better day. My wife was very nervous, but came away feeling safe and having enjoyed her first flight. Below is some video footage she took of this memorable event.
