helicopter date night!

Steven's been flying since 2006 but i have never been able to fly with him yet! So it was really awesome to be able to see Steven in his element, and see what he does in his life away from us. steven is really cool! (but i already knew that:) This is the hangar that he works in. These are all Rotorway helicopters, he flies these and is also working as a mechanic on them.
but, we flew in the schiewzer.
pre flight check
after we took off we flew by this old airport that has a bunch of old planes everywhere. it's cool to see what is just in the middle of nowhere.
then steven landed on the top of a mountain!
we flew over our old house
then alongside Ironwood
then over the mesa temple
and then back to the airport.
he let me fly for a bit and i actually kept it pretty steady. it was the coolest date i've ever been on & steven is a really (hot) good pilot.
