I remember my first flight with my father. I was 8 years old and fearless; crashes weren't part of my psyche. We took off, cruising through clouds that, until then, I believed were solid masses of wonder that would morph with the next whisper of wind into circus animals or butterflies.

I don't remember being concerned in the least.

Fast forward to a time when I'd had a few knocks from life, enough to know things do happen when we least expect them.

It was a dewy morning but the September sun was quick to burn away the moisture in the air. The clouds were few and the sun promised a perfect day for flying.

My dad and I were headed out to nowhere in particular, just up. And away.

The propeller roared to an instant thunder as it whirled and whipped through invisible air. And we were off into the cloud that looked like a rabbit-turned-bear the closer we got to it. We were there in the cloud; I was dreaming, I thought.

What a miracle flying is.

The air in a single-engine is up close and personal, not at all like the jet liners with magazine racks and free peanuts.

We flew and I acted the part of a kid "taking" the controls just long enough for the thrill of it before handing things back to my father.

The bumps and the jostling, the noise, the clouds and a not-so-distant bird; there's nothing like a small plane where nature is at the controls. It strikes and leaves its victims in its wake but the thrill of the risk is pure magic.

The clouds whisked by the little window and the trees below looked like wisps of green and gold and an occasional red-orange speck of the approaching autumn.

"Look for flocks of birds." my dad instructed amidst to growl of the Mooney.

And then I realized just how very vulnerable we were. And I loved it.
