I had never been in a small craft before, so I was scared and relictant even as I buckled in while still on the tarmac. Even after the smooth take-off, and cruise past landmarks, I still expected the plane to buck and pitch and to cause me to use the air-sickness bag. However, none of the former or latter happened. Our pilot, Eric, with his 30 years of flying expertise, flew that plane rock steady. His calm demeanor, seemingly effortless flying, and his abundant knowledge of the island distracted my mind from my unfounded fears of a plane-crash death.
As for the sights, we were able to see most of the must-see places all over the island. The views were so good in fact, that we didn’t even feel the need to see them up close anymore. Why go to the (Fantasy Island) waterfalls by car just to see it from the freeway, when we’ve already seen it from the best angle available? The same went for spouting horn and other attractions. We even saw sea turtles from our vantage point in the air.
But what goes up must come down. Again, Captain Eric did not disappoint. The landing was so smooth I didn’t even feel the moment when the wheels actually touched the ground.
All in all a great flight. I highly recommend it!!
