"Commercial" Pilot for the day!

Chad's mom was up here visiting in June, and after her visit with us she had plans to go to Vancouver.  Well Chad got to practice being a real operator that day.  He flew us all down to Vancouver in a 182 that had a really cool new Garmin 1000 system.  You'll see pictures.  Chad loaded up the luggage, did all the weight/balance calculations, did his pre-flight briefing (which he always does), and flew his mom down there it felt just like a real commercial flight, minus the security lines, baggage claim, huge airplane, and flight attendants.  But who needs all that stuff when we can have our own private pilot and scenic flight.
