This is flying. The wind presses the goggles to my face. I am strapped in a bucket seat with nothing around me but space. I look past my feet to the brown California hills and the bank of gray cloud covering the Pacific a thousand feet below.
Pressing lightly on the left pedal, I move the control column to the left. My left wing drops, and the runway turns below me. I close the throttle, and the engine’s speed drops to slow. Now I can hear the wind singing through the flying wires. I drop my nose – I mean my feet – and point them at the head of the runway. At 20 feet I flatten out parallel to the ground. As in a dream flight I settle slowly; the two main wheels touch the ground, and a fraction later the nosewheel comes down.
