For Christmas 2007, I got Jacob a gift certificate for a discovery flight lesson. He's always wanted to learn to fly. And I know we can't afford it, but at least he could get one lesson in - just for fun. With the pregnancy... baby... professional engineer exam... we just didn't have an opportunity for him to take that flight until Monday night. I think he'd tell you it was worth the wait! Here are some pictures... it started getting dark fast, so we didn't get many.
There he goes, with flight instructor Jim.
There he is in the pilot's seat of the Cessna 172..
Heading out for take off... .
Can you see them up there? The little speck in the middle of the picture is them..
Safe back on the ground with Nathan. You probably can't tell, but Nathan is wearing a "Just Plane Cute" onsie from Uncle David and a baby aviator's jacket that barely fits him anymore. Jacob had a great time. And Nathan had a wonderful time seeing his Daddy again - he really loves to watch his Daddy! He certainly has a great Daddy to watch and learn from :)
Here's a video of his take off! Sorry it gets blury at times... it was hard for my camera to focus on a plane so far away.

That was such a great gift to get him! I can never think of anything really good for Corey. Maybe one year I will blow his socks off!
Brandon has always wanted to learn to fly too but it is soooo expensive. Glad Jacob had a great time!!
