Flying

Hello Everyone,

Some of you may know that my hubby flies.  He has been after me for several years to take the Pinch Hitter course.  That is when I learn how to land the plane in case something happens to him.  Well, yes I finally started learning a few weeks ago.  I wanted to give you a few glimpses into the lessons and my journey.

Here I am in the right seat getting ready to take off.

There is my hubby with the plane.

This was the first time my hubby had to ride in the backseat and he said it was comfy!

This was taken a few weeks back during peak fall foliage in New England.  Glorious!

This was taken the following week, you can see how the leaves have changed and many have fallen.

A view of Hartford and the Connecticut River.

Yesterday, there was no lesson for me only a jaunt to Block Island with friends.  This is coastline of Block Island, pretty isn't it?

On the approach to the airport at Block Island.  Just a glorious day!  Who would think it was November?

The approach back to Hartford.  This was taken actually a few weeks back.  Today, as you read this I may actually be landing the plane over and over again.  Wish me luck!

I must say beginning this adventure was a little nerve racking, but I am becoming more and more relaxed as I go along.
