I love flying.
Had a small stint in a trainer aircraft ala airplane ride.
It was a low wing trainer, forget actual manufacturer, but the pilot let me take the controls for a bit.
Level flight in good weather is easy.
Don't know how it would've handled if there had been any weather events moving into the area.
No, I did NOT land the aircraft.
And the pilot took a huge risk letting me take the controls like that, he could've stood to lose his license for it, but since I'm still here...
But for a moment, a brief moment it felt like I was even with the eagles.

Correction: From someone who does know what flight regs are, I being completely unknowledgable on these things, the pilot couldn't lose his license for letting me take the stick.
*PHEW!*
Yes, I was worried about that, it being a private airport we flew out of.
And thanks for the correction on it!

Great feeling eh, Darksheare. I would fly anytime any place. That's a big Woo Hoo for me.
I left on my trip this fall Sept 11. Some people thought that was hairy.
