There are a few guys here at work who own small planes. I was talking with one of them last night about flying and he said if I wanted to go up with him sometime, I am welcome. So I immediately said I would take hm up on that offer because I have wanted to fly in a plane for as long as I can remember.

I can't wait, I am so excited about this!

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

:music:

Have fun, OP! I got a flight in a twin-engine plane, got to fly it a bit, and got a lot of cool pix back in the day. It was a *blast.*

GL! :thumbsup:

Just remember, you are sitting inside a metal tube the seat near the tail is the safest ;)

and dont forget to take your toolbox with you...just incase you get a flat tire or few engine blowups or something in mid flight :p

buzz past the white house. they love that sort of thing. (and dodging the shoulder mounted stinger missles from White house rooftop is fun too.)
