So, I’m on my DH's plane tonight (he’s on the PA as I type this) and feeling so proud. How many of you get that elated feeling when your man’s on the plane? I mean – sure, your happy when he's sitting next to you, but how about when he's actually flying the plane you ON? He's in the cockpit, your in the cabin. Constantly wondering what he’s doing up there – how many different buttons he's pushing, listening to him on the PA saying his name, the captain's name, where we’re going, how long it will take us etc etc. Just wishing I could be up there in the jumpseat just watching in awe and asking question after question. We’re on our way to Austin, Texas and the lead flight attendant is so nice and friendly . She comes up, gives me a bottle of wine while we're descending saying "it's from all of us girls, you two have a good time tonight". How sweet are they! I’m know they liked DH's sense of humor and my “we really appreciate your hard work” attitude but I certainly didn't expect anything except for good service. I wouldn’t give up this opportunity for anything! The takeoff and landings make me nervous, but I know exactly who’s at the helm of the ship. In that sense, it doesn’t worry me but a little (haha). Who knew that my love for planes - the awe in watching them takeoff and touchdown would lead me to a soulmate in the same field of a passion of mine?!! I must be the proudest pilot wife in the world right now. If you haven't yet had a chance to fly on your DH's plane, I suggest you do - it's well worth it!
