Flying is Fun

Today Todd called up one of his buddies to take us flying and wow was it fun. I wasn't sure if it was gonna make me more sick but it actually made me feel better. Matt was our pilot and he even let me fly the plan a little bit!



and then he did this gnarly turn where he turns the wheel but also hits the gas or something at the same time so it turns a lot sharper and it almost feels like the plane is flying sideways...I suggest clicking here and watching it in HD
Todd and I both want to get our pilots license and this totally got us stoked. I think I'm gonna let Todd get his first so he has to fly me around. lol

Hey DJ! I'm a private pilot and it's the free-est feeling in the world being up above the clouds out of reach of the rest of the world. You should definitely do it...its so rewarding!! The best is being able to hop in a plane and fly somewhere just to have breakfast :)

Sweet! Is that from the 5dMKII? The video is sweet. Who knew smugmug hosted video, too?!

Who knew I could use "sweet" twice in the same post? Sweet!

fuuuun! I watched the HD vid-- felt like i was flying.

Is that in CA? I didn't think you guys got that much snow. I guess you would in the mountains maybe.

Yeah, Todd can fly you around country next year, instead of the tour bus. You can put your face on the side of a plane too, I'm sure. Ha!:-D

Dude, one of the big things I've wanted to do in life is get a pilot license. If I lived up there I'd totally do it with you!
