Bursting with joy

We were flying back from Springfield last Sunday, arcing into a
setting sun the size of a pie tin. It was one of those flights where
you keep catching yourself turning off course, just to get the sun
behind the windshield post and out of your eyes...

She was grinning from ear to ear.

Inspired, I let my inhibitions go, and began giant swoops and gentle
push-overs, all in time to the orchestral crescendos of "One Six
Right". Soon, I found myself closing *my* eyes, and feeling the
weightlessness at the top of the arc, and the one-G steep turns, back
and forth, all to the beat of the music. It was magical.

Throat tightening, chest bursting, I wanted to cry with joy. If there
is a heaven, it must feel very much like this.

And my daughter was "getting it"!

When we landed, Becca -- vocally against the very notion of learning
to fly for so many years -- said "Dad, maybe I *will* learn to fly
some day..."

Aerobatics aren't necessary to exceed 1 G. Any time your rate of climb
increases, you're exceeding 1 G. You also exceed 1 G in any level turn.

Turn the aircraft onto its edge, and use some up elevator. See, one G

looks from the passengers).

There's only one net acceleration vector, and its magnitude will exceed 1 G.

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

I saw barrel rolls.

Those were called 'loops' as I recall.

And there's no way I can think of to pull up at the bottom of a loop
without exceeding one G.

Even if she doesn't, she has had her mind stimulated in an extra
ordinary way. I remember my Becca coming to the realization that her
husband, along with most of the people she grew up with had "never
been anywhere."

Yep, my Becca already knows that her flying privileges have set her
apart from her friends at school. While they are totally excited
when they go to nearby Lake McBride for the weekend, Bec can
(normally) be totally blase about flying to Kansas City, St. Louis,
Minneapolis, etc.

That's what makes this experience so special for me. She normally
doesn't show that she appreciates flying in any way, and it's nice to
see some acknowledgement of the fact that the life we've given her is
somehow special.

They were barrel rolls.

Barrel rolls exceed one G. The only roll you can do at one G is a
perfect slow roll and the orange juice would go everywhere in one of
those.
