Ever since Jason started working with Scenic nearly 4 years ago he has wanted me to come along and go on a flight with him. I am pretty embarrassed to say that this past week was my very first time going. Don’t ask me why it has taken me 4 years but it has. We have taken the kids to see the airplanes and climb inside them and the kids have gone for a flight with him, but I never have. So last week when Jason called me to say his next flight only had a few passengers and that I should come I couldn’t think of a good excuse and so I went.
The kids were all surprisingly well behaved and it was a very enjoyable experience. We just did an air tour over the Grand Canyon where you don’t land you just fly over it. The whole trip was just over an hour and was a nice little adventure in the middle of our day.
Jason likes to take the camera to work with him sometimes to snap pictures of his office view and since the ones I took didn’t turn out very well I will post some from his collection instead.

This one I would rather have not seen. Notice that the Prop is Not Spinning! Jason calmly pointed out that this is an everyday thing that he does while training his students. SHUT OFF the engines midair to give training on what to do if you really lost an engine. Maybe I should be a little more worried about his job that I am!
And just a cute picture of my sexy pilot.

Talk about an AMAZING VIEW!! Great pictures! Is that Moab in one of them? I love that place!! I have been on a few small planes, they scare me a little but mostly I have enjoyed the few adventures! :)
Those are great pictures. I have yet to see the Grand Canyon. I would really love to some day but I don't know about the flying. It probably just wouldn't be the same if you didn't fly over it to capture the whole scenic view. Jason's office view is awesome!!!!
The prop not moving totally scares me!!! I still think it is sooo cool Jason is a pilot! Thats fun go got to sneak away on a little family trip. I still have never seen the Grand Canyon we will have to do that sometime!
What beautiful pictures! I can't believe this is your first time flying with him. I'm assuming your just mean since he has been with Scenic. My kids loved going up with him just to fly across town. They thought it was so awesome!
What a brave soldier you are, I could NEVER get on one of those planes..I'm terrified. It looks like a lot of fun though. I enjoyed the pics!!
I can't figure out how he's taken so many awesome shots on the job with those super-shaky unstable hands of his!
How fun for you. your little family is growing up sooooo fast.
