Maria spent a lot of Tuesday "up in the air"

This beautiful day began at 8am when Maria took her first flight as a pilot... 30minutes in the air over "Our Farm-Park".

Getting ready before takeoff buckling up... ... 30 minutes later, her first landing Thank you Shane
and the
North Shore Aero Club.

Next Maria tried Tandem Parachuting. Her instructor was Lynette at Skydive Tandem.
It was a wonderful experience.  Another parachutist jumped with them and took a video for her... we photographed the Tv screen as we watched it later...

Photos of skydiving are taken from the Tv when Maria's video was being viewed.
