learn to fly planes

Kerry and I were on our way out to Skwentna in a little Cessna. We’re all on the headphones, and the pilot can’t tell who’s talking. I’m sitting in the back, and Kerry is sitting in the co-pilot seat. I say, “Someday I really want to learn how to fly. I love flying.” The pilot says, “Okay, start now!” and he takes his hands off the controls. Kerry grabs them, and proceeds to fly us all the way to Skwentna! It was a little rough at first, until she got the feel of it, but she did it!

Next time, I’m sitting up front!
