I got to fly a plane!! And NO – it wasn’t a simulator or a RC model, and I didn’t crash it! 
It was a 1970~ Piper Cherokee 180 single engine, under wing, four passenger plane. A friend (who just so happens to be a LU flight student) took up for a ride Saturday. After we were airborne, he told me to take her for a spin.

At first I was pretty scared – this was my first time flying in a small aircraft – but I grabbed the wheel and pushed the rudder… miracles of miracles we stayed in the air and banked a bit. 
Luckily for all abroad as well as for all living beings on the ground – my friend landed the plane. 
Warning: This is not the actually plane I flew… This is just a similar make and model of the one I flew.
Ruthy wants to know where Aunt Emily was.
My opinion – wow and who let you do that?
Aunt Emily was standing in the yard waving to her wonderful husband as he buzzed the house. =)
Let’s say it was a crazy LU student from Tyler Halls. (can’t let all my secrets out).
