My Mama G is a pilot. She earned her pilot’s license back in 2013, after many years of looking skyward and dreaming of piloting a plane someday. I understand completely, because every time I hear a plane pass over our house, I run to the window and watch it, wondering, too, what it would be like to be up there. Mama G says I would make a good pilot, because I’m good at spotting “traffic.” Apparently that’s a fine skill to have in the cockpit.
Sometimes I try to help her plan her flights. I would love to go flying with Mama G someday, but she doesn’t think it would be a good idea.
There is, however, one lucky cat out there who gets to go flying with her dad. She’s a beauty named Iris, and you can watch her land in a Cessna 172 here. She seems pretty calm and content.
So at least for the time being, I will have to settle for dreaming about flying, and listening to Mama G’s stories about her adventures aloft. A fellow can always dream, right?
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. — Leonardo da Vinci
Oxbow's World 
Dear Mr. Oxbow, we all know and understand that four-legged felines are insatiably curious. I totally understand you wanting to know what it would be like to be in an airplane. I watched the videos of Iris, the Bengal cat. Iris seemed to be really enjoying accompanying the pilot of the plane.
Maybe someday, your mama G might grant your request…
Do you enjoy riding in the car?
