    I spent most of today in the air...literally! A friend of mine ( who is a certified flight instructor) asked me a few days ago if I wanted to go with him to DeLand Florida, to get his Cessna 152 serviced. I said HECK yes, and he told me to meet him at the airport today at 8AM.

    After going through all the pre-flight checks, we were ready to go. He told me to get in the left seat and informed me that I was flying us to DeLand. I was a bit nervous at first, but after I took off, it was a rush. I flew us to about 3 miles of our destination, and then turned over control to him so he could land us.

    After we dropped the plane off, we went over to the skydiving school and had breakfast while we watched the skydivers doing their thing.

      FUN! wow what a job you have bagged there @Geena. Flying in small aircraft was a unique experience for me as well so i can relate. Personally i felt so free, like I could go anywhere. Having the possibility of going for a fly every now and then is very cool. Imagine if you could obtain your pilots license as part of the job! Wouldn't that be something else! Sky diving is another incredible experience. What a great day you had, Lucky girl!

      This flight was just with a friend of mine who asked me to go along, and I`m glad I did. I have flown many many times, but it`s all been in helicopters until today. The company owner where I work now, said that I will definitely receive pilot training through the company, and I am really looking forward to that. As for skydiving...I went into the skydiving school and snagged a brochure. I`m planning on going back up there and doing that pretty soon too :)

      I thoughtfully recommend skydiving. It was the most incredible experience for me. Most people talk about an adrenaline rush - not me, I had the opposite effect! It was the most relaxing and surreal experience ever had. I felt humbled it let me realize just how small we are compared to the rest of the world. Much different to bungee jumping where I did experience the big adrenaline rush. Yes @Geena if you get the chance you wont regret it (providing the chute opens)...

      I second that. Go as high as you can. At least one minute free fall.

      And if the chute doesn't open... you won't have long to regret it!;)
