Gone Flying


I went flying today, for the first time in a couple of years. Of course, I was only the co-pilot. A friend from my astronomy club invited me along on a ride, and we cruised around Long Island for an hour or so. It was nice to be back in a Cessna 172. I tried to do a photo of me in the airplane by holding the camera out at arm's length, and aiming it at myself. Well, this is the first shot and it is obvious that I missed! I did some more photos, and got it right. I was going to discard this, but then realized that because it cropped a lot of me out, that it was the more interesting photograph. I am wearing a noise-canceling headset with a microphone, by the way.
