The sound of the Cessna 152's engine was one that I knew all too well. That familiar buzzing sound's constant ring in my ear, aside from the voice of my instructor, was often the only sound I would ever hear during my flight lessons. On November 2, 2012, however, that would be subject to change. This time, I heard an unfamiliar one: sirens. It was faint, almost impossible to hear, but nonetheless it was there. I opened my window, rolled the plane 30°, looked down to see the remains of what was my
Time to Soar Soaring at 5,000 feet was a magnificent sight. I could see the clouds above me and the world below me. This was the zone my pilot referred to as “the sweet spot.” It was the perfect altitude where the wind wasn’t too bothersome and the view was best.
