Not long ago Taylor had asked me quite a few questions about what training was like when I got my pilot's license. I figured any explanation I could give wouldn't give her a true sense of what it's really like, since you're moving in a horizontal as well as vertical plane. I made a few calls and lined up a discovery flight for her at a local training academy while she was on break. These are some photos I took early Tuesday morning this week.
Here she is with her flight instructor doing the preflight on the aircraft.
There's nothing like the feeling of strapping into the left seat for the first time ever.
Slipping the surly bonds of earth.
Unfortunately, I had to borrow Jen's camera since mine is no longer functional.
And of course the camera's battery died just after they began the climb out.
She had a great time, and walked away with a much greater appreciation
for what her Uncle Tony does as a pilot flying all over the globe for FedEx.
And there you have it!
