I had the chance to take a ride on a vintage aircraft. Since I don't know a lot about the aviation industry, except the generally nasty experiences of TSA lines and feeling a lot like a cow in a herd, this gave me the opportunity to get into a smaller plane.
Meet the plane!
And, my very delightful and fun, pilot. Yeh....that's about as much as I saw of him. But, he WAS busy. Seriously, he has have a great time flying. And, he ended up leading a few fly-by's over the airport with our formation. It was quite cool!
There were 6 or 7 planes similar to ours and we took off in a serial fashion. At least, from what I could tell. We were in the front and it was a bit difficult to turn around.
But, I did like looking over my left shoulder and seeing this!
I could see a similar plane over my right shoulder. But, I couldn't turn around well enough to get a good photo of it. I was...shall we say..seriously strapped in!
The gauges! I spent a little time studying them. I really hate running out of gas.
We all landed without incident. And, the entire flight took about 45 minutes. I believe I suggested a quick trip to Paris. But, we didn't quite get that far.
All in all, it was a great experience. I thought about getting my pilot's license. But, I have enough bad habits as it is.
