Starting to fly

It's about time I took to the skies. For the past three years I have been viewing the skies at night. First with a telescope, and now with both binocular and telescope.

This current connection with the sky dates from childhood. I have always wanted to fly. Various pilots and trips over the years resulted in my piloting something or other, from a single-engine airplane to a Navy Blue Angels jet. What a rush.

Now, however, I will take to the skies in my own radio-controlled aircraft. I have been flying the simulator for a few days, and am waiting for someone to be looking over my shoulder when I get to the airfield. I really can't wait!
