Flight School

Dave had some birthday money and decided to use it for flight school (A one time ground lesson + flight). So we all headed to this little county airport that reminded us both of Wings  . The kids and I had a little picnic lunch and watched some planes take off and land while Dave had his ground lesson. Then we watched him take off and fly around, but missed the landing due to an unfortunately timed potty emergency. Dave said he did everything himself except the instructor took over for landing, so I guess it worked out that it was the part we missed. Is it just me, or is it kind of crazy that you can just sign up to go fly a plane one day? Pretty sweet use of birthday money, if you ask me :)
