I'M FLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!

well at least i was yesterday. so i can no longer say I have never flown in a plane. my boss took me up in his airplane. now before you get any crazy ideas... it was a fairly small plane.. i mean our shoulders were practically touching sitting in the front seats. he also said he couldn't take more than 3 people total up ever, even though there were 5 seats. anyways it was pretty cool to fly over the area.

we flew over a couple of my coworkers homes, or at least what we thought were their homes... in various places from ft washington to doylestown and over to spring mount.

yep i'm purty sure i was over your house stan.

all in all we were up for about an hour and a half. and i got to take the stick and do some turns and up and down stuff for about 10 minutes, before my nerves gave out and it got a little bumpy...

i want to be superman more than ever now...

  • Cool man, I can't believe you got to handle your boss' stick for a couple of minutes. Ha ha ha... Anyway, I probably wouldn't have the guts to take over control of the plane. Sounds like fun though.

  • That's amazing! Congrats man. I've never done that even though it's been offered a couple times. Krista won't let me. Anyway, was the plane's Y-axis inverted? If not, I'd never be allwoed to drive. We'd crash and burn instantly.

  • you mean pull back to go up and push in to go down? yes it was. and the boss could have just grabbed his "steering wheel" if i was doing something wrong/dangerous...

  • Yeah, I know. I was just referencing some people's inability to play FPS'ers with their Y-Axis inverted. And yes that means what you described.
