Dear Friends,

I made a wonderful discovery today… If you want to learn something new, ask questions!  I love airplanes and was excited that I was going to fly on a plane to Florida with Miss England’s Mom.  I wanted to learn about flying, so I asked the very nice people who work at Air Tran Airways some questions.  Before I knew it, I met the pilot of the place, Captain Bill. He invited me to come on the plane with him and sit in the cockpit, which is the part of the airplane where only pilots are allowed.  It had many, many dials and gauges that measure important things to keep the plane flying safely.  Captain Bill let me sit in his seat and told me he has been flying planes a long time.  He used to live in Illinois but got tired of the cold winters, so now he lives in Florida. He was so kind and so happy to help me experience what it feels like to fly a plane. I met a very kind flight attendant, who was kind, helpful, and help make my trip to Florida extra special.

I will never forget Captain Bill and all the kind people at Air Tran Airways who gave me the experience of a lifetime.  And remember- if you want to learn something new, ask questions.  Exciting things may be around the corner!

Hugs,

Tidy Teddy
