Flying "N903FC"

Joey took me and Patti flying today! We flew over Wakulla Springs and down to the Gulf Coast. It was extremely windy until we hit 2000 feet, so sometimes, it felt like we were flying sideways. Joey did a great job of easing our nerves. He's a really good pilot! (Have I talked you up enough, Joey? Will you take my flying again and again?) But really, he rocks!
We had a great time, and topped it off with some really good Mexican food! Yum!
I included a video of the landing for anyone interested. It reminds me of The Blair Witch Project videography because of all of the wind, but you'll get the idea!

Me & Patti (very windy) - I had to hold Patti's hair down

I have NOOOO idea what these do.
Wakulla Springs - This is where we spend a lot of time in the summer swimming.

Controlled burning - is it really?

Joey had a real smooth landing despite all of the wind! I didn't notice it until I saw the video, and I don't know if she realized that she did it, but you can see Patti clapping once we landed! What's wrong, Patti? Nervous?
