Aviation Merit Badge takes flight!!

So exciting ~ there are no words!!  Well, ok... maybe just a few.  We found out a friend had recently become a certificated private pilot, so I asked if he would like to help teach the Aviation Merit Badge.  He jumped on the chance and is currently in the process of working with about 8 boys on their badge. However, he was able to give Samantha and Riley a private flight - before he started the class.  Ry got to mark off his perform a preflight check and take a flight with a pilot.  

(these are various from all three of our cameras)

Sam's selfie! (I told them to be sure and get one like this!)

The ballfields we play on - ours is the bigger one off to the right, almost out of the shot.

Sam's shutter speed caught the fast moving propeller at a weird position.
