Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 My wife wanted to take me flying, skydiving even. But I found the rock in the parachute packing. There were no shroud lines either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 And we all know that a boat is just a hole in the water you throw money into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Jen Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 In a little plane that goes pppppppppppppppppttttt. We don't have one of those fast ones that goes chchchchchchchchch--oooooooooooooowwwwwww. Sorry. No Merlin, either. No j-79s. No Rolls. No Prats. Will lycoming do? We've both been flying our whole life. He asked me to always take him up. And I said with total love in my heart: Always. This is a miracle in so many ways. For those who doubt such things exist, just look at life in itself for answers: atoms in stars, thrown out by supernovae, reorganized to be self aware, to reproduce, to fly, contemplate the cosmos, and love. Goodness me, Almighty. Miraculous. IPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me, Almighty. Miraculous. IPhone. There is nothing to compare with flying in a light plane, with no particular agenda other than to enjoy flying. I hope that you get to make many more flights together. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 There's something magical about flying above the earth's surface at low altitude. Night flying was probably my favorite. Still air, twinkling lights above and below. And skimming across a cloud deck with clear air above was always a treat too. Thanks for sharing Jen.
