Flying the Friendly Skies!

Today I surprised Tyler with a discovery flight! You get an hour with a flight instructor and you even get to help fly the plane. Tyler knew he was getting a present but he was shocked/excited when we got to the aviation building.
Pre-flight excitement

Here is Tyler waiting for the flight to begin!
This is Tyler and our instructor measuring the fuel


Views from the air!
The mountains where Tyler spotted the Elk! Of course he did! And they were bulls too!
Home sweet Home! Our humble dwelling and 650 Komas where I work!
The side of the temple only few see!
Go UTES!
What did I get myself into!

The future pilot back on the ground!

Wow, that looks awesome. I flew in a plane that size once and I got really sick! It was fun thought!

That is so cool that you and Tyler could join the mile high club in such a tiny plane, and with a flight instructor watching!!

I love the picture of 650 Komas, it's such a magical place. I also love your terrified face. I am impressed that you kept such an awesome secret surprise for Tyler. He looks thrilled...Oh wait, that's just his picture taking face!

Bethany that looks so fun! I'm impressed that you could hide it from him for that long. The pictures look great.

You guys are quite brave!! I am petrified of flying...and I used to love it when I was younger. But now that I'm older, I'm a big chicken. Looks like an awesome flight you guys had!!
