Flying to Prom Dinner

tlewis95

I drive planes
I flew my date from my home base (Poplar Grove, IL - C77) to a resort in Wisconsin (Lake Lawn Lodge - C59) for dinner with an extra special touch.

We had a pro camera crew (my parents :rolleyes:) take about 300 pictures before we even got off the ground, and they did really well.

It felt really weird flying in a tux... :o

Those are all of the flying ones, and you get this one just because I absolutely love this picture. :)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say your Prom was last night?

Mine was. I thought about doing something along these lines. I decided to be with my friends though, and do dinner with them. It worked out, the weather wasn't that great yesterday anyways.

Yep, Saturday night. We were looking for another couple that wanted to go (its a short flight, we would need half tanks) but nobody wanted to pay for half of it, and I was happy for it to be just us anyway.
 
I was going to do this when I'm a junior or senior! I don't even have .01 flight time yet, though. :( I'm still a sophomore, so maybe I have time. :P
 
You da man! These are the kind of stories I love to hear from people at interviews. Congrats on your prom and I hope you were at least a mile up! :)
 

Do you think before you type? How would you like it if that was your daughter and someone made a comment on a public forum like that?

tlewis- I think that is one of the coolest things I have heard in a long time. Sounds like a blast.
