August 27, 2011: Brittanie's First Plane Ride

I saw this activity through Big Brother Big Sister that I thought Brittanie may like to do.    There is a mentoring program in Ottawa County that has additional activities.    This activity was to learn how to drive a plane.These pilots volunteer their time, as well as their personal planes for this event.   There is an association out of Wisconsin that offers the experience to take flying lessons for youth up to age 17.  The first step is to ride in a plane with a licensed pilot.  If the child wants to continue the path to flying, they can be sponsored by the organization to take flying lessons and then continue on until they become a pilot.   I am glad Brittanie was able to experience her first plane ride.
