My First Harvard Flight

Yesterday, my good friend Dave gave me a thrill of a lifetime by taking me up in the Harvard to fly over Embro and do a few aerobatics. I now know what it feels like to pull some G's, do huge loops, fly upside down, perform various rolls and execute low fly-bys. Yeah, Trish is not a big fan of those fly-bys when it's her house. Who knew?

And though I prepared myself by holding onto the puke bags even before take-off...it was for not because I even surprised myself by not being the least bit queasy. Dave, you're the best!
Good to Go!

Yes, I still have chicken legs and yes the parachute straps are supposed to be that tight between my legs...Honest!

I'm not so sure my 6'4" frame will fit into that small compartment.

I've already forgotten the 10 steps on how to bail out of the bail in case of emergency. My life is in your hands Dave.

Smokin' the gang below. We also did a smoke show over Embro.
Back on the ground after an exhilarating experience. I'm good to go again Dave. Let me know!
