Once the plane was in my control, to say the feeling of flying is incredible is an understatement. It was simply a magical, invigorating experience from start to finish. After a few shaky minutes on my own, I felt at ease and got the hang of it. We kept a cruising altitude of 2,500 feet knowing that the big commercial jets would be coming in low around 3,000 feet as they made their decent into surrounding airports (specifically EWR, LGA and JFK). From an aviation geek's perspective, it was so awesome to essentially "plane spot" from the sky!
