Today I had the opportunity to give a flight review in a Commander 114. How I ended up flying in the Commander is an interesting story. We had just recently obtained a hangar for our 182 and pushing the plane into the hangar is a bit of a chore. I remembered that one of my friends who is a partner in a Commander had an electric tug sitting in their hangar. I inquired as to the status of the tug and the owners ended up giving me the tug. I think the functionality of the tug was intermitent and they just wanted to recover the hangar space. During that conversation, one of the partners of the Commander was up for a flight review and during our discussion I disclosed that I was a CFI. One thing led to another and a review was scheduled.
The interesting thing is that I had been a passenger in the right seat of this Commander a year or so prior before obtaining my CFI. Now, I was in the right seat again, but this time as a CFI and evaluating another pilot for a flight review. It's wierd how things in life come full circle. The review went well and I even got to fly from the right seat for bit and land the airplane.
