Flight to Mt. Baker

As I mentioned before, flying to Mt. Baker was my dream after getting the license, but it came true partially today. Paul took me there by his Piper Worrier 2 today. He is a private pilot who graduated from my flight school this spring. Happy enough, the weather condition was perfect which is rare in this season around Vancouver. We flew from Boundary Bay to and around Mt. Baker at 9,500 feet and came back. The mountain view from the altitude was nothing but spectacular. I couldn't help feeling a kind of fear when thinking that there are no people living in this vast mountain area, and I understood why we have to file a flight plan for the search and rescue every time we fly. It is almost impossible to find out a crashed small airplane in such huge area. Anyway, it was my first experience to board on a low wing airplane which is a little bit faster than the Cessna152 and I felt it more stable to control. I hope to fly as many times and long as possible next year.
