Looking Down at Skyscrapers

 

It's that moment when you do something that takes your breath away.  I have always been mesmerized by the miracle that is flight, however certain experiences definitely outweigh others.  This experience was particularly memorable.  I had the chance to take a flight along the Chicago skyline with my flight instructor.  It's one thing to fly over cornfields and wheat farms, but to fly over Lake Michigan with the skyscrapers of Chicago right out your window is something completely different.  It's one of those moments that leaves you with a big dopy grin on your face that you just can shake.  Then suddenly you're cackling with laughter like a three-year-old on Christmas, and all the hard work you put into getting to that moment was all worth it.  This is a milestone in my flying career that made it all worth it to me.

It's the Thrill of It All

Many people don't understand what it feels like to be an aviator.  The feeling you get when you hop in a plane and climb into the blue skies with a whole world of opportunity waiting for you,  all at your disposal with your machine at full power.   The possibilities are endless, and it all starts with the first moment you decide to experience the miracle of flight for yourself.  My story is just beginning, and I am pleased to share my experiences, thoughts, and adventures.   One thing is for sure,  it's gonna be one heck of a ride!
