In this year's Flying Samaritan trip to San Felipe, we brought along additional volunteers --- Danny and Trini.
Trini, being a registered nurse, can help at the medical clinic, and Danny can help us at the eye clinic.
This will be the first time for both of them to fly in a general aviation aircraft. So, before the actual
San Felipe cross country flight, I gave them an introductory flight around the bay area. After passing the intro
flight with flying colors, we flew with them to San Felipe to volunteer for the Flying Samaritan clinics.
For this trip, we took the Cessna. Good thing it has the 180 HP conversion engine. After rechecking the W&B calculation,
it's good to go for 4 passengers with light cargo and full fuel.

| Awesome trip; got to introduce friends to the benefits of general aviation flying; at the same time able to do some good volunteer work. | |
