My Sunday Afternoon

This past Sunday was very unique for me. I was just sitting in my room wondering where to go for dinner. Suddenly two of my friends come in and ask me if I want to go to Indianapolis to have dinner in Hard Rock Café. I though that they were joking around, but somehow they were telling the truth. One of my friends, who is a pilot, told me that we were going to fly there I honestly didn’t believe him until we actually got in the plane. My friend just rented a Cessna 172RG (retractable gear). This plane has a Lycoming 4-inline 180hp engine that reaches a cruising speed of 150mph and we flew about 2500ft both ways. On the way there I went in the back of the plane, I literally couldn’t believe that I was being flown by one of my friends. We landed in the international airport and saw some amazing airplanes; while we were taxing the plane we came face-to-face with a huge DC 10! So after taxing the plane in the FOD, they simply gave us a car for evening, for free! So we drove downtown ate at Hard Rock and flew back to West Lafayette. The ride back was way better since I got shotgun! I got to put on the headphone and listen to everything people were saying on the radio. That was my awesome Sunday afternoon. Oh before I forget, here is a clip of the landing in West Lafayette...not so smooth as the one in Indy.
