It has now been over two months since I received my pilot's license and I am enjoying every minute of it. One of the things that I enjoy doing most is offering the opportunity to friends and family to experience the excitement of flying that I have. I took my daughter, Natali, up for her birthday and she had a blast. I have taken several friends, including one that is joining the Air Force. I have also explored new airports and look forward to finding new and interesting places to go.Although I really enjoy my time flying, I can't say that my wife, Ruth, likes to fly with me. The first time that we went up, she held onto the seat for her life the whole time -- and it was just one time around the traffic pattern. The second time we went up, I hoped that she would enjoy it more. We ventured a little further out, towards Boulder City, but to no avail. Maybe someday, maybe after we get a larger plane, she will enjoy it more.
As for now, though, I love the freedom of flying and the pleasure of saying "I am a pilot!"
