I’m off to a flying start

As I near Dublin Airport, the view out the window looks comfortingly familiar.

There are the Dublin Mountains off in the distance and the red and white striped Poolbeg towers are just out to the left. As soon as I see Howth Head, I know it won’t be too long till we’re touching down on the runway at Dublin Airport and I’m home again.

The only snag is that I’m the one who has to get the plane safely back on the tarmac. It’s my first time landing a plane but thankfully there aren’t any real lives depending on my rookie skills.
