| Cessna 172 |
As part of his Air Force cadets training, Donnelly got to try his hand at flying this weekend. He had a free flying lesson from Townsville Aviation. Instead of just sitting in the passenger seat watching the world go by, Donn got to actually take off and land (with the instructor's help).
Watching the little planes take off and land reminded me of the bush planes that I got to ride in when I lived in Alaska many years ago. We lived on a small island that was being logged and the only contact we had with the mainland was a short-wave radio and a monthly grocery shopping trip to Sitka.
I found the video below on YouTube, and it shows a small floatplane taking off in Anchorage. The best part is near the end.
