You Don't Ever Want to Fly with Me



This is what we flew... the V-22 Osprey
The propellors come down so it can also be flown as an airplane.
A helicopter and airplane in one. Pretty cool.

Taken with no flash so you can see the scenery I'm flying over.

Looking out the window, that's the scenery with flash.
Our co-pilot and flight instructor was Captain Peterson, the first (and only that we know of) Mormon Osprey pilot in the WORLD. He's the one that got us into the simulator. It was so cool and felt so real we had motion sickness afterwards.

We did the simulator and dinner Friday night to celebrate our birthdays.
Justin chose Chili's so he could get his favorite chocolate molten lava cake.
One of the guys at the table behind us is giving us some love.
