The flight
The work weeks went on and I began to socialize more and more with the other employees of our administrative group. We rarely saw agents, sometimes brokers. The counting class was always there and always ready to gossip or chat about anything at all. I listened a lot, tried to figure out who might be interested in the things that interested me. I really didn't think I would meet any S&M patrons at work but then I reminded myself of Dave and the lab we both worked at. I never knew who he was until he wanted me to know.
I settled into a routine, Devona on Saturday for lunch and then I would go to the Dungeon later in the evening. I also made several trips to the MS Elaine's store for outfits and toys. My wardrobe became extensive. There were even a few contributions from Devona. He liked to buy things for me and I enjoyed the presents and his attention.
Saturday nights turned into long fuck fests. I gladly went to the table and got strapped in. The parade of members usually lasted about two hours and I became fully aroused and pleasured during the closing half hour. The boys finally figured out that there were two holes available and the pussy started to get more work. She toughened up a lot and I was able to take several guys in a row without discomfort. There was always a protector to insure condoms and lube and no pussy after asshole penetration. Some guys just didn't understand that. Dumb.
Dave came to me one day while I worked and asked me if I wanted to go down to Radford on a day trip? He wanted to attend to some real estate business and he would fly us down in his plane. I told him it sounded like fun while the butterflies floated in my chest.
The day before we were to fly he came to my office and told me he wanted to stay overnight in Radford. There was a musical concert at the college that he wanted to see, and he thought about taking his female persona with him. We could stay in a hotel and have some fun after we closed his real estate deal. I asked him what I should wear, and he said anything you like, it was all casual down there. He intended to wear a sport coat and an open neck shirt.
Dave picked me up in the limo at 7:00 AM on the next day and we headed for an airport just north of Richmond. It was a business airport and didn't have any commercial flights. It did have a lot of small single, twin and even jet aircraft on the tarmac when we got there.
Dave's plane was in the hangar and the chauffer helped us pull it out. Dave said he didn't like to start it up in the hangar, it blew stuff everywhere.
"Rachael, you sit in the right seat, you will be comfortable there."
We stowed the luggage and I climbed aboard. There were doors on both sides and the wing was over my head. The lettering on the side said Cessna and Textron. It looked so small until I got in and then it felt crowded and big. I thought that was strange.
Dave got in the left door and reached across me to lock my door and point to the seat belt. I strapped in and looked at the array of dials and switches before me in amazement. How could anybody know what all these things did.
The chauffer and the limo departed, and we were left doing Dave's checklist. I was comforted to see it was all written down on a laminated card and he went item by item, reading it aloud and then touching something. I sat there while he did his walk around, checked the fuel tanks, wiggled the flapper things and kicked the tires. The last thing he did was check the oil level in the engine and then he got in, closed the door and buckled up. The checklist took him through the instruments and soon he made ready to start the engine. It started easily and the whole thing started to shake. The noise was deafening, and he handed me a set of headphones. The headphones included both microphone and ear speakers, so we could talk. He showed me the switch on the yoke that said "intercom."
Over the head set I heard him say, "Keep your feet off the pedals and only use the yoke to push the talk switch."
I pushed the talk switch and said, "Okay."
I heard him talk to someone about a clearance and radio frequencies, but it was all gibberish to me. He reached in front of me and turned some dials that I could see changed numbers on little red screens. Wow, this was confusing.
"Once we get out of controlled air space, this will be a lot more fun," He said.
He pushed the knob in and the motor went faster, and the plane started to move down the alley between the hangars. When we got to the end he turned onto a taxiway and headed for the parking pad next to the end of the runway. This was called the run up area and once Dave parked the plane he went back to the checklist and did his run up. All I heard was loud, he ran the engine to full power and turned some switches on and off making sure things would work at full power.
The run up done, the checklist complete, he set the flaps and turned onto the runway. I looked down the center line and felt the acceleration as he pushed the throttle in again. We rolled down the runway and quickly I felt the airplane leave the ground. We just lifted straight into the air, there was no pointing it toward the sky or anything like that. We were just rolling down the center line and the ground fell away. It got quieter and I looked out my window to see the industrial complex and airport fall away. I tried to settle down and calm my nerves. There seemed to be no danger, but I was scared none the less.
I could hear Dave talking to someone on the radio and then he changed some dials and we turned west toward the mountains that I could see on the horizon. The day was beautiful and clear. I looked at some of the dials and could identify the altitude and the speed gauges plus the compass. We were pointed west and flying at 2500 feet. We flew smooth with a bump now and then. Dave was busy flying the airplane, and I was just looking around when he said, "you ready to learn a little about the airplane?"
"NO."
"Are you comfortable?"
"NO."
"Put your feet on the pedals."
I did that and then he said, "Push one and then the other and feel the tail of the airplane go first to one side and then the other."
I did that and suddenly I realized that I just made the plane move. Me, I did that.
"Good, now keep your feet on the pedals and put your hands on the yoke."
"Okay."
"Gently move the yoke left and right like you did the pedals."
I started to turn the yoke and the wing on my side started to go down, I went the other way and the other wing went down while the first one came back up.
"Okay, that's good. Now watch the compass and turn the yoke to the left and push in on the left pedal. Let the compass come around to 250 degrees."
I did what he wanted, and I could see him put his hands in his lap and his feet on the floor. I was flying the fucking airplane. When I got it to 250 degrees he told me to take it back to 270 degrees by turning in the other direction.
Dave explained how the airplane stayed at altitude with a trim button on the yoke that set the elevator in the back to keep us level.
"Now pull the yoke toward you slightly and you will see the speed go down and the altitude increase."
He pushed the trim button and suddenly I could feel the pressure on the yoke disappear. The plane stayed in the climb and headed in the same direction. Cool.
We climbed to 7500 feet, so we could get over the mountains comfortably and we settled into a world of pretty sights and drone noise. I could hear air traffic controllers chatting to other planes but there was nothing for us.
I was having a good time and Dave seemed to be in his element. Chit chat was difficult with the intercom, so we didn't talk much. We crossed over the first set of mountains and I saw a long valley going from my right to my left. Dave told me to turn left and we went south down the valley.
When we got over Roanoke and the airport at Blacksburg came into view Dave got busy on the radio and changing all kinds of things on the plane. There was very little air traffic and we flew straight into the airfield at Blacksburg. I don't know how he did it, but the airplane just settled down to a long slow glide that ended up at the end of the runway. It was amazing. We turned off the runway and taxied to the parking ramp for fuel and overnight storage. Dave rented a car and we carried our bags into the little office and he picked up the keys. Soon we were on the way to Radford, several miles away.
