Learning To Fly, Sort Of...
By Mark Flippo
Pretty cool looking! This is an Italian sport, happening in Monaco/Milan Italy! Have you ever wanted to fly? I used to dream of flying as a kid all the time. Those were my favorite dreams. Of course Superman was top of my list of heroes! I tried it one time on the farm. I found a piece of plywood and our steepest hill. I started running down it and got a little lift, and that is where I went wrong.
A little puff of wind sent me into a downward curl! Ouch! As a Junior in high school I took up flying lessons on a Cessna 150. It was really exciting! I finally got to the point in my training that I did my first solo. I was shaking in my shoes! So I put my mind on what needed to be done. I took off did my banking turns and then lined myself up with the field. I thought I was doing pretty good until I looked at the ground and the teacher is frantically waving to go around again, I was too high! So I went around and landed just fine the next time. They went out of business right after that!
Coincidence I have my doubts LOL! Kind of weird timing. My life took off after graduating. I went to school in Connecticut and signed on to work for Delta Airlines at JFK. I did some flying with them but only as a passenger! Sometimes the desires you have as a child, work their way out as an adult! Don't stifle your kids. Thank you Dad and Mom for trusting me to move far away! Thank you for your encouragement! They are gone now but what they taught me still remains!
