It’s been a few years since I’ve set paw on the airport runway, but just after Christmas I decided it was high time I took to the sky once again.

Last time I took to the air (my very first time in fact), I was just a passenger, but this time I figured – why not just fly the plane myself?

After all, if anything were to go wrong – all I had to do was stick my head out the window, since I have my own awesome ear-flapping propellers!

After running through my safety checklist I was ready to load up my passengers and take to the air!

And incase you are wondering, I’m very thorough when it comes to safety.

I even radioed in to the control tower to make sure my plane was stocked with extra cookies – in the event that we had to make an emergency landing on a desert island somewhere. One can never be too prepared.

But, just as I radioed control – they reminded me that I did not in fact have my pilots license and piloting the plane wouldn’t be a great idea. Dang.

To be fair, they did have a point. So I popped into the backseat with mom and readied myself for takeoff.

I have to admit, it’s much more fun to be a passenger then having the responsibility of piloting the plane myself. And I’m sure everyone else was relieved to have an experienced pilot taking us for a ride.

Raise of paws, who thinks I should take my pilot’s license next year? *wink* 

How do you think your dog would react during a plane ride? Would they sit back and relax, or try to hang their head out the window? Do tell!
