Brody's dream came true on Saturday...He got to fly a plane! He always talks about some day owning and flying his own plane. I usually object from the fear of all the accidents that result from small air crafts. But I guess I can't be too overprotective.
I chilled in the backseat. We were on the ground for this picture so I wasn't scared yet.
Our plane was a total throwback to the 1970's but it was trusty and safe! I'm totally grateful for all the fun things I've been able to experience lately!
He received a card in the mail recently, inviting us to "International Learn to Fly Day". A local airport was offering "Discovery" flights for super cheap. We couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Here he is at the controls. I confess, it was pretty scary at first. You feel every bump and you feel quite vulnerable all the way up in the sky in an itty-bitty plane. The instructor was sitting next to Brody, which was comforting. He actually said Brody did quite well for his first time.
