Having another person reach over my arm to turn the transponder off, while I was on short final would freak me out :) I would probably slap their hand...lol
Nice they do it in a 182, then you can get your high performance signoff.
This is actually a Civil Air Patrol plane. The CAP is the Air Force Auxiliary responsible for search and rescue within the United States. It is an all volunteer non-profit civilian service with 56,000 members and 530 aircraft.
For my 18th birthday, my parents put me through flying lessons. Im nineteen now, and fully certified. This was the plane I learned on, and it is a real joy to fly.
The 182 is slightly larger, more powerful, carries more fuel, is more stable, slightly better performance (speed, range, altitude, climb, etc.), and has a more efficient, variable-pitch prop, making it a little more complex aircraft to fly.
thats cool

That is actual BL Bennet in the left seat and Ian (cannot remember his last name) in the right seat flying the plane. Thanks for commenting! - Chris

Yep, I can still feel that feeling of being in the ground effect just before touchdown... awsome

You know what's awsome? Cadets can now train in the 182! I was so happy when I found that out last meeting. Glass cokpit baby!
