Flying on a Sunday afternoon!

Today my Dad took me flying in the new Zodiac plane he gets to use on a pretty regular basis. He got his pilot's license almost a year ago and today was my first solo trip with him. I grilled him the whole ride to the airport with the typical "first timers" types of questions. "How many times/hours do you have under your belt?" "Has anything weird or unusual ever happened prior to or in flight, and if so, what were they?" "Should I bring my purse?" That should have been a given if I had known the size of this thing we were about to take an adventure in. I don't think we had room for much else besides our selves. Besides that, what the heck would I need my purse for......in case we found a place to stop and get a drink or snack...in the high up altitude. So anyway, we got there, took off and had the greatest time. I even got to steer a little bit, although I was more at ease just snapping pics and talking on the headset microphone with Dad. I had the lingo all down, 10-4, Roger that...you know.....I was smooth like that! I had to laugh as I started quoting one liners from the old movie Airplane like, "What's your vector, Victor!" Here are some pics of the plane and Dad and I. What an experience, I am game to go again anytime I get the chance to. Thanks again Dad.....you're a fantastic pilot!!!!!!
