Doing More Than Just Looping Around The Airport
I had been accompanying my friend on his practice flights around the Tacoma Narrows (Washington), each time never leaving sight of the small airport. But this time, William finally cut the line that held us to looping patterns around the airport and we got to fly in a straight line for a long time instead. But it was worth it: lunch near the Pacific on a beautiful day is always a good thing.
