What a delight it was for me and my daughter to experience the wonder of flight. We were fascinated to discover the history of the sea plane we flew in. Such as, Harrison Ford learning to fly the Beaver for the movie Six Days/Seven Nights as well as the anticipated PBS release of the Beaver's documented journey to reach the North Pole.
I enjoyed flying so low that all of our surroundings were so vivid.
You inspired me and my daughter that we as women can obtain anything we set our sites on.
Thank you for gifting this to all the women and girls of our community. GIRL POWER :)
