this was the view forward

 that's the copilot. he was basically two rows in front of me. i could have touched his shoulder if i stood up. of course, i couldn't stand up, because the cockpit was only about four and a half feet tall. see that blurry thing in front of his thank-god-he-was-only-the-copilot-placed sun visor? that's the propellor. the only one.
 i was surprised how high we went for such a short flight, but i guess it probably avoided some turbulence and mountains and stuff.
 leslie's looking a little white, and if i weren't so sunburned i would be too, given how deep her nails were dug into my arm for the entire 35 minute flight. this was a really small plane. as you can see the seats had shoulder straps. these weren't modern shoulder straps like in a car. no, these were confusing and didn't have any give to them at all, once latched. also, the "aisle" was - at most - one foot wide.

see the edge of that smile?
|
|
|
 that's the grimace of sheer terror.
|
have you ever been on a plane smaller than this?
|
|
|
 if so, are you by chance a pilot?
 unfortunately the pictures of the airport didn't turn out. it was a barn. no shit. a barn with one open side, big gaps between the walls and ceiling and a booth set up to sell real estate to departing gringos.
