      No, my friend is a super calm and highly competent person and we went flying over land I know and love. It was thrilling! Also, it's a very calm morning today, so no turbulence or anything.

    I just started learning to fly this summer actually, while on vacation visiting family. I’ve got 12 hours logged and now looking to continue to get the license (you need 40 for a private pilot license) somewhere near home. My goal is to be able to take friends and family up, just like this!
