A St. Louis view from 3,500 feet at sunset

This summer my son, Logan (https://instagram.com/pilot_logan?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), became a private pilot. I was the lucky mom that got the opportunity to fly with him on Friday evening, August 18th. I crossed my fingers and did a little bit of meditation to calm the nerves while he was doing his pre flight checklist, but then I enjoyed every minute of our one hour and 15 minute flight: 3 take offs; 3 landings; and a tour over the St. Louis, Missouri area that concluded with an amazing sunset! It was surreal to sit beside the kid that was once afraid of heights, and watch him pilot a four passenger Cessna 172s. I have taken some pretty cool trips—this was, by far, the coolest! ✈️
