Flying High

David my brother is a pilot. He flies privately, and kind of has access to a plane when he needs or wants it. He has been asking to take me for a while now. He has taken JJ and Emma but I have been too chicken to go. Well, on Sunday he had me trapped. The best part was that Jeron and I both were there so he could actually take us together. We headed down to the Provo airport and flew out from there.

If anyone can explain to me what Jeron is looking at in this picture that would be nice.

Look at how little that plane is. Holy cow, am I really going to let my brother fly me in that?

We have our headsets on and we are ready for take off.

I think David had a lot of fun taking us. He did a cool take off where he was only like 20-30 feet off of the ground and then we flew over Utah lake really low. His plane kept saying don't sink, don't sink letting him know he was low. I thought that the plane was giving sound advice. After the lake we headed over to the mountains. We flew really close to them so we could see them perfectly. I have never seen the Wasatch mountains like that before. Even in a commercial plane it just isn't the same. We were so close. I loved it. He flew us up Millcreek Canyon which was cool. I am very impressed with David's flying skills. I will have to say I could have done without the Zero gravity drops he did 3 times but we all know he had to torture his big sister a little.

This is a picture of the mountain peak right above our Jr. High.
David commented at one point that this is his office.
WOW, what an office to have.
Now I am a plane junky and can't wait to go again. I sure hope we get the chance.

You are so brave. I am so scared of little planes like that. I'm glad you had fun though!
