First airport dry run

Regional airport only. Sunny spooked at the PA once but we reset and tried again. Progress not perfection.

Bookmarking this because Regional first is the move. Big hubs can wait. Would you do the same outing again tomorrow? (during eval prep for us).

Bear hates that exact scenario so I feel this. Also DMV tile waits are brutal for down-stays.

Security was nicer once they saw us reset instead of rush. you made a hard outing look manageable. This helped more than you know.

Ear protection helped our team in the jet bridge chaos. We figured it out on a random Thursday.

Honestly, the mat work payoff is real — DMV tile waits are brutal for down-stays.

Any gear change that helped — harness vs cape? Mochi and I are working on the same skill right now.
