I wanna ride in a biplane! I wanna ride in a biplane!
I rode in a Cessna a few years back. In Door County. We were going someplace near Green Bay, and we saw a sign for plane rides, and decided at the spur of the moment to go for a ride. Man, is it different than big bodied planes. It was more fun!
Except for the part where I smacked my head getting into the thing. Right after he told me to watch my head, SMACK!
LOL... aw... poor Sis...
In a somewhat related story...
As a kid, and even now, I have always been fascinated with flying.
My gramps fed this through many trips to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, and with his old copies of Air Force Magazine.
For my 15th birthday, my mom and step-father gave me a introductory flight lesson. I was thrilled... it was awesome. I actually was allowed to help control the plane.
All was going well till we got up to around 1500 ft, and then my door flew open...! I freaked, and could not bring myself to reach out the plane to grab the door and close it. The instructor thought it was hilarious, and reached over top of me to grab the door, and shut it.
I still remember that feeling, but still plan to eventually get my private pilots license... eventually.
