Great Western Adventure part 5

So Michelle's dad took me up in a Cessna. I have never been in a plane before so it was a little scary but fun nonetheless. I posted some video of the fight in the first posting about our trip.

Here are a few pics.



Inside the Cessna.


Outside the Cessna. Randy is meticulous about the preflight inspection.


Ready to taxi down the runway.


just after take off, looking east towards Dallas.


Downtown Ft. Worth about 6 miles away


Ft. Worth again.


Dallas skyline, 35 miles away.


blue arrow is my in-law's house. yellow arrow is Michelle's car.


Kenneth Copeland, the televangelist's house and airfield. Must be making lots of money off old ladies.



More of the Copeland Compound.

Looks like you guys had a great time! I bet it was kinda scary in a small plane like that but so much more adventurous than a commercial plane. Wish I could've gone! You don't get to see everything from the front seat in a commercial. Flying on a plane 4 to 5 hours is preeeety boring when you can't see out...but I still like flying...hopefully I won't have reason NOT to like it :0).
Take care!
