Fly me to the moon....

Thanks to Ed, I was able to fulfill a longtime dream of flying an airplane! Ed gave me a gift certificate for an "intro flight" lesson. I spent some time on the simulator, then was taken up in a 4 person Cesna and actually took control of the plane! It was incredible!! We flew almost to Rockford - it was thrilling and terrifying at the same time! The instructor even let Ed join us for the flight. Fortunately for all of us, the instructor landed the plane since I ended up in the grass on the simulator! How nice it would be to fly to Rochester to visit the Schmitts - sure would beat the 5 1/2 hour drive -
