Caught in the Moment

Our commercial students flying HX, a Bell 206 LongRanger at +Upper Limit Aviation - Cedar City.

You know that feeling you get as a student when you first take off and you're hovering just above the ground? And how intense it is the first few times and after a while you get used to it, but it's still there in the pit of your gut every time you take off? It's like a kid on Christmas, it isn't as overwhelming as when you were young, but it's still something that you look forward to and can't wait to experience again. Don't you just wish that you could freeze that moment sometimes; and that when it is finally time to come back down to reality that it all feels like it went by way too fast? Well, that's why  we're lucky to capture moments like this. When students are still new to flying and we can freeze that moment forever as they lift off from the ground and begin to soar towards their dreams. Thanks, Ben, for the photo!
