The next thing I know I am off the ground and everything is getting smaller. The wee little engine can only make 180hp, cruise speed is only 140mph, I'd only fly at 3000 feet, and the only catering is a bottle of water but I wouldn't trade it for a free ride in SQ F. Looking down I see the highway I drive everyday to get to work but it's a new world. Everything beyond the tree line is now visible. Lakes, rivers, hills, big houses, little houses, office parks, quarries, and much more. In the distance, I can see the next major city 40 miles away. After puttering around a bit, it's time to head back in. All too soon I am back on the ground.
I know exactly how you feel!! The feeling is like no other. I'll never forget it.
