This past weekend, Boookie got the chance to go up flying for the first time, and now has 1 hour of official logged time in the cockpit.
Boookie was "smooth and skilled" in the words of the flight instructor.
Boookie took this photo while the flight instructor had control.
Boookie taxiing and taking off in a Cessna 172S. And yes, he was in the pilot seat and at the controls for takeoff.
Many years ago, around the same age as Boookie, the Mayor got to experience flying in a small craft.
