A flight In An Aeroplane

A flight In An Aeroplane

I often heard people talking about their flight in an Aeroplan I often saw Aeroplan's hovering about the sky How I wished, I too could enjoy a flight in an airplane! Fortunately, I had an opportunity very soon. My father had to Bombay on business. One morning I received a sudden and immediate call from him He wanted me to reach Bombay with some very important papers which he had forgotten to take along I hurriedly collected the documents and a suit of clothes. I packed these things and dashed to the airport. Luckily 1 got a scat in the plane that was bound for Bombay. In my heart of hearts, 1 was very happy to have got this chance. The pilot started the engine. 

It made a great noise and immediately took off At last it glided along the ground and then began to ascend from the earth. In a few minutes, I found that we were very high. up in the sky. In the first few minutes, I felt a little frightened. But soon I overcame my fright and felt easy. I looked below. The scene was charming The houses looked like small huts or even like matchboxes and crops seemed like grass very like the Gulliver's sight in Liliput. Men and women looked like ants and rivers like serpents crawling on the ground. Everything looked very small and tiny. I enjoyed the sight to the core. We remained in the air for hardly half an hour. 

It was 7 p.m. Searchlights showed that we were near the Bombay airport. All of a sudden the deafening sound ceased. The plane began to descend. Soon it touched the ground and came to a standstill. I opened the belt that I had fastened before we took off and came out. The whole experience now seems a wonder. In thirty minutes, I was a hundred miles away from home. It was really thrilling Its memory is still fresh in my mind and I very much wish to fly over a longer distance.
