Flying

Happiness #21: FLYING

Ever since I was little I have loved the thought of flying a plane. I would always play the flight simulators at my dad's work whenever I could. Even when the Air Force came to my high school I think I was the only girl who got in the trailer to do the flight simulator (and I kicked all the boys butt's, it was awesome). I have always loved flying anywhere and the best part is when there is turbulence.


Today my friend GT asked me if I would like to go flying with him. If you know me you know that the answer to that question will never be no!!! I was so excited. When I finally got out to the Long Beach airport where his plane was I got to meet Don. Before I knew it we were up in the air. GT sat in the back so that I could sit in front with Don. I had the best time. If I remember correctly we did a 2g circle and then another move that made me weightless. They were both awesome and really fun. Don asked if I wanted to fly. I got to fly for maybe 30 seconds but then we started talking about doing something else and he took the controls again. He never really let go which kinda made me happy! :-) GT took pictures and made fun of me from the backseat. I loved EVERY second of it!

I hope I get to go again! Thank you GT and Don! So much fun! It made my crappy week not matter anymore. You always know how to make things better!


Me enjoying the view!
I forgot to get a picture with GT so this is the best I have...his feet in the plane...still don't know why he took it though haha
We flew all over Long Beach and LA, here is the Hollywood sign
Here is me and Don flying...him more than me :-)
