Grandma Starling's Flight

On Tuesday afternoon, Jonah took Grandma Starling and Brooks along with him on his flying lesson.  They were able to watch Jonah go through his checklist before take off.  It was a pretty afternoon for a flight, with the exception of being a little bit warm.  

Jonah checks the fuel to make sure that he has an adequate amount for his flight.

Jonah with Brooks and Grandma Starling, who should I say had never flown before.  YES, this was her first time EVER flying and her grandson was her pilot.  How cool was that!!!  She was a little nervous, but made it through the flight just fine.  She said that during take off was squeezing Brooks hand really hard but was fine once she was up in the air.

Doug (Jonah's flight instructor), Jonah and Mary.....getting ready for take off.  I'm not sure if that's a nervous smile or a happy smile that Mary has on her face.

And there they go....

Of course everyone enjoyed the flight and now Mary can check flying off her bucket list.

You are mighty, O LORD, and Your faithfulness surrounds You.
Psalm 89:8


Blessings to all ~

NEAT!!!!!!!!! That is so cool that Jonah is taking flying lessons! Matt did that a long time ago and never finished.... I think he'd like to do that again.
When will Jonah be finished?
