Horizontal plane

It was spring break 2015 and my family decided we were going to take our first long road trip! We knew we had to drive a total of almost 17 hours so we made the decision to get up in the middle of the night to start our trip. We were on the road at 3:30am to get through Chicago without any traffic. It was dark and cold as we started out. We breezed through the windy city and headed to Indiana. By now the sun was starting to rise and we were all waking up. The ride so far had been very…

yellowy color as if the caretakers of the fine establishment did not care if it looked as if they didn’t maintain their property. As the spectating parents and grandparents took bets as how long till we crash, I was thinking on how to get into the plane without bending a wing. I hear my uncle giving very in depth instructions on how to step 3 feet to the lift. As the ten minute long tutorial from my uncle finally came to a close, and I finally step into the crisp costume made caiben. Once i was…

Private Jim Work shipped off to Europe in April of 1945 on the USS Mount Vernon and then traveled by train car to Stolberg as part of the ‘Replacement Depot’. He traveled around with his unit, 14th Infantry Unit, until the war ended in Europe on May 8th then the troops began training to transfer to the Pacific Theater. Before any of them were finished training the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Japanese surrendered. The winter of 1945-46 Work spent his time in Sternberg.…

“Well that was an enjoyably pointless trip…” I probably would have dropped the suitcase if my mentor’s bony hand hadn’t swiped it from my own and threw it into the hammock. “Ah, there was no harm in travelling in an aircraft for several hours, was there?” I pulled on a displeased frown. “No, I just missed four hours of the only three days Evra has left in the Circ!” I snipped back. Mr. Crepsley ran his hand through his hair and slumped his thin shoulders. “I am sure he did not mind,”…

years I was going back to my country Mexico. It was my first time in a airplane, I was so scared i felt that the plane would fall off the sky at any time, all I did was pray to Jesus Christ my lord to stay with me and protect me through the whole flight. 3 hours through the flight I was annoyed and tired of sitting down I just wanted to get off already. After 6 hours of waiting the plane finally landed in LA, California. My cousin Daniel picked us up from the airport. While we were heading to…

The Houston runway was quickly disappearing beneath me, the plane ascending, leaving my stomach dismantled on the tarmac. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was truly on a plane, by myself, headed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My mother laughed at the thought of me living abroad; consistently making it known my ideas were childish, financially unstable and unattainable. With a slight grin pulling at my lips, I close my eyes and begin to wonder what the world will look like on the other side…

It was two days before the first day of school was going to start and I was stuck in Des Moines. I was with my grandma and grandpa sitting in the airport waiting for the plane to come in. The plane was supposed to leave at 8PM but right around 7:30 the loud airport speakers announced, “The flight to Phoenix, Arizona has been delayed two hours.” Now the flight won’t take off until 10 PM and we were going to miss our connecting flight. My grandma went to the gate agent with about two other groups…

Autobiography There I was on the plane to Hawaii. I remember I was so excited! My mom had told me a year before that we were going to Hawaii. I’m not from there, but what does it matter. After all I’ve been to Canada and I’m not from there. Everyone in my family had wanted to go on those two trips. All together I have seven people in my family, not including my animals or me. I have two sisters and one brother. Their names are Jenna, Ava, and Austin. I also have two sets of parents. They are…

small bush plane started up with ease as we pulled out from the the small cove on Nancy Lake. The plane bounced up and down, attempting to to get enough lift to take off on the water runway. Slowly gaining altitude, I felt my ears pop uncomfortably and adjust to the new altitude. Cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter, we began our short flight to Chelatna lake. The skilled pilot landed the plane perfectly despite the slight breeze and steady rain. We quickly unpacked the…
