Reed's First Flight

Mr. Reed is heading to Omaha, Nebraska and then Iowa to visit his cousins (Myra & Henry) and gets to ride in a plane for the first time. His bag is packed and we check in at the airport.



Now to find our departure gate.



On the plane and Mr. Reed wanted to check with the pilots to see if his dinosaurs could ride on the dash for the trip. With his dinosaurs positioned on the dash the co-pilot wanted to know if Mr. Reed would like to take control ...



Mr. Reed had a quick answer of "YES" as the pilot got up ...



Mr. Reed hops into the pilot's seat and checks the flight plan ...



Mr. Reed goes through the preflight checklist ...



"We are ready for takeoff." But due to a full ground stop at the Detroit airport our takeoff would be delayed.



After about a one hour delay we were cleared for takeoff but Mr. Reed decided to get comfortable back in the main cabin.



We are now in the Detroit airport and have another delay. Reed took this photo of his dad while we wait in Detroit.



This is going to be a 4 hour delay and Mr. Reed made his traveling friends comfortable.



Mr. Reed with the gate attendant checking on the status of our flight and getting a selfie. Our flight left Detroit around 1:00AM (Eastern Time) and arrived in Omaha around 2:00AM (Central Time). Mr. Reed stayed awake the whole time until he got on the plane and the cabin lights were turned off. It was a long day and he slept in the next morning.
