Flying

I like flying. Not commercial flights -- although I don't mind them as much as most people. I like flying in small planes. Luckily for me, I have a good friend who owns a 2 seater plane. Last Sunday was nice, so we went flying.

Here is the inside of the plane.








We flew over southern Wisconsin, by the Dells, Lake Delavan and Devil's Lake.

The cool thing about this plane, is that if you see something that looks interesting, you just fly over there and get a closer look.

Here is a dam. In the middle, you can see the lock.














I think this area is very beautiful.

We also played with some thermals. These are columns of warm air. Since heat rises, so does warm air. So if you find one, you can just fly in tight circles around the thermal and gain altitude for free -- no need to adjust the throttle. You can see birds do this as well.

I have more pics -- go here to see them.
