Tuesday, December 30, 2008 - My First Flight!!!

I took my first flying lesson with Justice Aviation Flight School at the Santa Monica Airport. It was AMAZING!!!

With my Flight Instructor by my side, I flew up to Malibu and back in a cute litte Cessna. These photos were taken post flight and my smile still hasn't faded...







It is such an incredible feeling when you finally touch your Dream!!!
