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..."

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."

Because I fly, I envy no one.

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.
