I was in Las Vegas and saw an ad for flights to the Grand Canyon, so I decided to save some money by staying out of the casinos for a day and went to the airfield, they weighed all the passengers and decided that I had to sit in the front with the driver (the other 5 passagers just about counterballanced my weight!).
Well, I went out and sat in this little plane, I was more used to jumbos and the like and thought one of those embrayer things were small, then we took off and the thing rocked all over the place and I was convinced it would crash at any moment, the pilot (a pretty girl) flew us low over the desert and I thought what is all the big deal about flying and just then we flew over the rim and down into the canyon, WOW what a view and I have been hooked ever since!
The moral of course is stay in the casino, at least you have a chance of getting your money back!
