Yesterday I went flying in a little Piper Cherokee. A friend of a friend owns the plane and it kinda happened that I ended up above the ground (although I was obviously not piloting it!).
It was my first time up in the air in a small private plane, and the experience was interesting. I guess I am still processing it because I am not really super excited, and I am not really super unexcited either. It was a fun experience, but I think I need to experience it a few times before it's coolness really sinks in.

It's like with music, sometimes you hear a song, and you really hate it, but once you listen to it 5 times, eventually, you can't live without it. Naturally, some things you just love right away, but in this case, I believe more trials are needed before I fall in love. (I am spoiled aren't I?)

We went to a nearby town, landed in a small airport, ate some dinner and then flew home. The pictures and movie make a better point then I, so take a look. Movie (8min): smaller (7.8mb) or larger (18mb). I filmed it with my Canon Digital Ixus i and edited with iMovie. Since this is my first attempt at producing a funky movie, be nice to it.
