First Flight

The Wright Bros, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Chuck Yeager and Casey Wang... All linked together in the history of flight. Wright Bros: first successful airplane, first flight. Lindbergh: first non-stop transatlantic flight. Earhart: first female solo pilot to cross the Atlantic. Yeager: broke the sound barrier. Wang: First flight taken April 5, 2014.. LAX to Oakland!
While not quite as impressive as the other aviation firsts, it was a first for Casey... And he passed with flying colors. We took a flight from LAX to Oakland, just Daddy and Casey. In the time leading up to the trip, he was 'a little bit scared', but excited. Turns out, he had no problems. He navigated LAX airport with no issues. He withstood the Southwest Airlines cattle-call boarding process with no problems. He boarded the plane, choose a window seat and sat without worry. He was a little concerned how loud the jet engines would be, but once they throttled up for takeoff, he wasn't bothered. The flight was uneventful; he looked for Mommy and Sydney in our garage from approximately 10,000 feet. (We couldn't spot them) He read the aircraft safety manual like a good passenger. He drank his water and ate his pretzels and passed the time without fuss. We landed, deplaned, and he followed the 'ground transportation' signs right out of the airport.

Casey at LAX!

Lookin' around the plane, taking it all in.
