A Flight to the Mountains

My friend Noel is a pilot, and he messaged me the other day to ask me if I wanted to come along on his plane ride. Of course I said yes! It was a gorgeous day, and we flew from Boundary Bay to the mountains by Howe Sound. I sat in the co-pilot's seat, on top of some cushions so I could see over the controls, and he even let me steer for a few minutes once we got to the mountains.

Flying

You know what's cool? When you befriend someone who flies planes as a hobby and he invites you to come on a plane ride with him.  It was the smallest plane I have ever been in (4 seater Piper). My car has more space than the plane. The little Volkswagen Golf (which I test drove yesterday) has way more horsepower than this plane!

Sharp turns are fun

The views were amazing, and it was definitely an experience. Conclusion: having your own personal pilot is fun! I recommend it to everyone :)
