Aviation Merit Badge
(click on the links to see pictures of the day.)
A huge thanks to Ed Clark for taking the time to teach this class and providing the most important part...the actual plane ride. As we arrived we could see the plane that we would be taking to the air. Before we were able to fly Ed needed to finish teaching the boys what a pilot must do before taking a plane in the air. After inspecting the plane we were allowed to board. Once everyone had found their seat our co-pilot took his place. (If I would have known this before the door was closed I would have waited on the ground. hahaha) Jim had the best seat in the plane...next to Ed of course. Once the engines started we taxied to the runway for takeoff. While in the air I took a few pictures of our flight to Austin, over Austin, over Lake Austin, while we were above the clouds and as we headed back. When we hit the ground I took a group picture of all the guys and parents that went on the flight with us.
A great flight thanks to Ed Clark our pilot and Barry Air for providing us with the plane and fuel. (Although Jim Gunter was our co-pilot he assured me he touched nothing while we were in flight. You don't thinkI would have been able to sleep that night knowing Jim helped fly do ya?)
