My brother, Kadir, and I had the opportunity of a life-time on Thursday. We both got to fly. Yup, that's right...we actually got to fly a small, twin engine, six seat airplane. Kadir was the first one in the drivers seat, the instructor walked him through the checklist of turning on the airplane and making sure everything was ready. Then Kadir drove the plane with the foot pedals through the airport and lined it up at the beginning of the run way. At this point I thought the instructor would take over, but no, he let Kadir take it off the ground. I was a nervous reck at this point, clutching my seat for dear life. Once we were up in the air it was amazing, I was sitting there in total disbelief that Kadir was flying. He took us over to Pitt Meadows where we landed and it was my turn to fly. What an amazing rush, as I pulled back and the plane started to lift. I got to take us around to White Rock and Birch Bay, as I proceeded over the ocean I dove towards the water and flew only 300 feet above the sea, twisting and turning, seeing the beautiful landscape. It's a memory that is etched in my mind and I will never forget.
