That is true, but I don't do reckless things, and I don't take people into the mountains untill they get their private license, and then I do a fairly normal mountain checkout. I am pretty sure that this guy wants me to show him how to fly low and fast down canyons and stuff.

I am not going to take him into the mountains, but I am not even sure that I want to fly with this guy. Should I just take him up and do normal slow flight and take-off and landing stuff, or should I pawn him off on someone else? Any ideas are welcome.
Take him up if you are certain you can prevent HIM from doing 90 degree turns and flat hatting... You both might learn something.
