Good Day to Fly!

A friend of mine invited me to take a spin with him in his Cessna 182. About noon the fog lifted enough to take off. What a beautiful day it was at 10,000 ft. Gordon uses his plane for business purposes. I'm still trying to figure out the business part of the trip??

THat is so beautiful. I would never dare to go in a little plane like that. But it is a beautiful sight.
