Aviation 101

Flying has been a part of our family for years (indeed, for generations), and it appears that will continue with Peleke and me. Consequently, The Beast is being introduced to the lifestyle as well. She loves the hangar because it means playing ball, treats, and things to explore, and she's also getting plane experience. She hasn't shown much interest in the cub, but she doesn't seem bothered by it either.



The Bonanza, however, is a different story. She was thrown headlong into the experience with a night flight from Rapid City, IA, to Valpo. I don't think she got that we were moving anywhere (let alone even off the ground) because she kept staring at the door and out the dark windows, shooting me questioning looks. The noise was disconcerting, and she kept close to my feet, but she was consolable and overall did well. 


Clearly it'll take more time to be completely comfortable...

  1. Boodles needs a little parachute sack....and maybe a headset. i don't know what those headsets are for, but i think she's supposed to wear them when she flies.
