I had given David a half hour intro flight lesson for Christmas. We went up to the Bountiful airport with a flight instructor named Jason. We flew on a Cessna 172 Skyhawk plane that had been built in the late 1960's. I got to go along for the ride and David actually got to do quite a bit of flying! It was a lot of fun and amazing right at sunset.
The Airport before take off
David actually got to take off. Here he is receiving instructions and managing the plane.
I just had fun taking pictures. It was a small plane, so I got a little sick at times, but not too bad:)
I didn't zoom in, but if you did, you could see David's house in this picture. We told the kids to watch for us, but I am sure they were having too much fun at Grandma's to think of us up in the air:)
Heading toward the mountains. This is where our flight instructor took over. He carved in and out and up and over the cliffs. It was crazy! That is where I got a little sick, but it was pretty cool. David said he even saw a bunch of deer.
We were flying SO CLOSE to the mountains!
There is the shadow of our little plane:)
Bountiful Temple. This is where David and I were married. It was so neat to see this view!
Views of the Great Salt Lake at Sunset. We got the perfect flight time I have to say! It was just gorgeous.
Heading back in
This really was such a fun and cool thing to do together! I am glad David liked it and that I was able to surprise him with something. Our flight instructor said that David was really smooth and in control and easy to teach. If you are ever interested in a doing a flight, the company is called Bountiful Flight. You can contact Jason at 801.243.0300.
