Yes, It's true - I do like airplanes
For those who might be interested, here are some photos I took back 2 years ago before the pandemic, flying with the Condor Squadron here in Los Angeles on a flight from Van Nuy airport out along the coast to Santa Barbara and back on a beautiful fall day. This is why flying is fun.
The second one was a flight on July 4, 2020, during the pandemic. The flight included an "only in Los Angeles" moment - the guy in the back seat of the near airplane is Vince Gilligan (the creator of "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul"), who is also a stone airplane nut, it turns out.

Flying is indeed a kick. For those of us less addicted, what is the plane you're in? I feel as though I should recognize it but memory isn't working right now.
This is probably the closest thing to actual flying I'll come for a long while, so thanks for bringing us along for the ride! I cut my teeth as a sidekick to two just-starting-out pilots back in the day - the ship of choice was a crop duster, of all things! It was exhilarating. I often think of them and wonder what happened. This was just as Vietnam was cranking up big time.
