my very first time flying an airplane was up in the Great Slave Lake area of the great white north. it was a dehavelin beaver float plane. you should have seen my dad's face when he figured out the pilot was letting me fly! i was all of almost 14 years old! i had a blast doing it then and still do to this day! no matter what is troubling me i can always go grab some airtime and forget every trouble i have on the ground! it's my "peace on earth"
