| “Airplane Ride”
‘Would you like to go for an airplane ride?’ I was asked to my surprise. I accepted this offer in stride, As I did the controls when in the air. I was more shocked than anything When I was told how to fly using the stick. I was a touch afraid for the first turn, But did okay when told to level the wing. The second time up, I learned the rudder. And it seemed as natural as could be. I was told I probably could go solo After three to four more hours. The idea seems kind of strange, but we’ll see. I enjoyed my first attempt flying in a Piper Cub. Megan Delia Ratcliff 12 August 2000 |
