On Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 we made our very first flight to Anchorage in our plane! It was a great day. Bob did a FABULOUS job flying into such a stressfull airspace. There are several different airports nearby, the Ted Stevens INTERNATIONAL Airport, the Military Air Base, Lake Hood Airport, including the BUSIEST FLOAT PLANE LAKE IN AMERICA, and Merrill Field - where we landed! I was impressed with his ability to navigate through the air traffic. We even had the towers give us notices on BIRDS they picked up on radar! It was my first time flying in a small airplane into a controlled airspace run by radar. It was almost like you were flying blind as you listen to all the instructions the tower gives you. My job was to help point out all the planes, but it was difficult!
After we landed, we spent the day at the Alaska Airman Show. It was a trade show for all the pilots in Alaska. It was fun. We got to go into several multi-million dollar planes and then of course, spent the rest of the show going from plane to plane dreaming of what we wanted to have in the future. Of course, we walked away depressed, because we know our place in this world and it is not with the rich! ha ha! It was still fun to dream and talk about the possibilities....NEVER STOP DREAMING!
