The last week of school Ethan had quite the treat. It was a delayed birthday gift of flight. A good friend of his, Ben, has a father who is a pilot and has his own plane. Ethan's birthday gift was a voucher for a plane ride. So on June 10, Ethan was able to collect this most unique gift.
The original flight plan was to fly to Willows in northern California with the goal being a game of helipad baseball. This was game that Ben and his family had invented while on one of these day flight excursions. However, the weather gods were not in a cooperative mood and travel plans were changed to Columbia, a small former gold rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
On the flight over to Columbia, Ethan was given the chance to pilot the plane. What a treat indeed!
