A 13-year-old girl experienced the thrill of a lifetime aboard a two-seater aircraft. The pilot welcomed her to “Nick Airlines,” and she introduced herself as Faith, mentioning that this was her second flight with him.
The pilot noted that she had flown in his old plane before but hadn’t yet tried out the new one. As they took off, he communicated with the control tower, prompting an excited “Oh!” from Faith.
With a smile on her face, she watched as the white plane lifted off the ground. Although her legs trembled with nervousness, they climbed higher into the sky. The pilot explained how the flaps on the wings help with takeoff and landing by creating wind resistance.
When he asked if she was excited, Faith replied, “I’m so excited. I remember this feeling.” She let out a little yell as they soared upward, and once they reached altitude, she was in awe. The pilot asked if she was scared, to which she admitted, “Yeah. But you’re used to this. You’re good at it.”
He demonstrated how to steer with the foot pedals, momentarily taking his hands off the controls, which made Faith laugh nervously as the plane swerved slightly. He encouraged her to try the main steering stick, and as she reached for it, her hands shook with excitement. Overwhelmed, she pulled away in panic. Nick reassured her and helped guide the plane as they turned left, right, up, and down. With each movement, Faith’s eyes widened in fear and wonder.
Flying over expansive farmland, she marveled at the breathtaking view from above and recorded snippets of the flight on her phone. As they prepared to land, Faith beamed with joy, laughing as she thanked Nick and declared the experience absolutely amazing.
