Bonnie and I had fun this weekend when my boss called me up and asked us to go flying with him. I was in the middle of some tedious reports and thought it would be a nice reprieve. It took Bonnie a little convincing but she too had fun once it was all said and done.

His plane is a little two seater, it was a 'cozy' fit. The average air speed was about 150 mph. It was a great day to be out, clear skies, but bumpy around 6000 ft. Bonnie went first, then it was my turn.
We both did same tour, about 30 minutes each, over Cache Valley We flew over USU's Campus as well as the Logan Temple. Then out toward Hyrum Dam and also Cutler Dam where Rocky Mountain Power has a decent size energy station. Both Bonnie and I flew the plane, although Bonnie was more of the hands-off look around type, but I enjoyed flying and ended up flying about 15 minutes.
It's interesting to see things from a "birds-eye" veiw, Logan is really a concentrated place. in less than 2 minutes we were out of the city and well on our way to Hyrum.
