New to us this year, was Jacob joining Civil Air Patrol.

This past Saturday found us meeting a flight instructor at Bessemer’s Mitchell Field, for Jacob’s very first flight.

It’s all the more fun when little brothers can tag along to watch!

He went along with one of his good friends, Jared.

They had a great time flying to Selma, and back. The pilot allowed them to control the plane for some time and walked them through general flight procedures. Even I, learned quite a bit!!

I know he was nervous, but I think it will be one of the most memorable events of his life!
