For my birthday Allen got me a flying lesson. I was able to do the pre-flight with the pilot, he let me taxi to the run way where he took off and he let me fly the air plane all the way to Ventura, down the coast and over a little bit of ocean before we headed back to Van Nuys airport. He landed but let me taxi back to the hanger.
I had a great time and will be having a meeting with the pilot soon to see about getting the 40 hours required to get my pilots licence. And after watching 2012 last weekend Allen and I are glad we getting the licence. We'll be able to get to China and get on the ark with no problem.
