Here we go, Up to the wild Blue Yonder....HAZE!

Steve got his Pilot license and really wanted to take me up for a ride, he thought I'd be nervous flying with him but I wasn't. The only thing that made me nervous was when he saw another plane on the monitor close by and then it disappeared. I kept thinking GREAT, he's going to come from out of nowhere and slam right into us! I could not believe all the HAZE....WOW! You could barely see the ground it was so bad. When we landed the plane started to really shake..BAD and so Steve had to let off on the brakes some to stop us. We took most of the runway just to stop. The mechanics said that maybe the shimmy bar had broken, well we found out the next day after the mechanics at look at it that we had hit some sort of animal with our front wheel when we landed and broke it, which is why it shook so bad. I was not nervous, we were on the ground and knew we would eventually stop in the snow if needed.(does not happen very often) It was a lot of fun and we hope to take a trip soon down to Parowan or St George. Steve mentioned also taking some friends and flying to Wendover for dinner and then flying back....we'll see. He is a good Pilot!

















This picture is not flying above the clouds, it's flying above the haze.
