Yesterday was my first time in a small plane. My friend Shane picked me up in a Cessna that he rented for the day and we flew to a fly in at a private airstrip owned by some very friendly, and very wealthy, people. For anyone local, the day started in Poplar Grove with a landing at Schaumburg (to pick me up), then flying over Lake in the Hills, back to the fly in in South Barrington, and a final landing in Poplar Grove to return the plane.
We estimated that I had about an hour of time at the controls, which was very cool!
Here we are on approach at the private airstrip.
The owners had a couple of hangars filled with beautiful aircraft.
A very nice older couple flew in with this.
Everyone circled around and did a low flyby as they left.
We took off and flew up to the Chain-O-Lakes in Lake County.
And then headed back to the airport.
What a neat day! I rode the motorcycle to and from the airport, which made it even better...
