Flying..

August 2, 2004 · 1 minute read

A couple of days ago I went flying. A friend invited me up. We took off from the Chico airport and circled around the Northern California Valley. It was only the second time I had been in a small aircraft.

After we got some altitude, my friend let me take the stick. I thought he was joking earlier when he said I could fly. I’ve always wanted to fly it was awesome.

Flying reminded me of being on a boat. The air and the water both are turbulent. The difference: air has a z-axis (altitude) water does not.

Definitely added ‘getting my pilots licenses’ as one of my goals for the next two years.
