There was nothing to be afraid of. It floats!!

I was afraid when we landed in the big plane from Columbo to Male. It is the short strip to the right in the pic. That plane did not float, as soon as the tires hit the runway he had to stand on the brakes and kick it into reverse. The runaway was really small compared to the plane we were in. Put me on an air boat any day.

We are going for a helicopter ride soon. My first time in a helicopter. I can't wait

I would neither enter the plane nor a helicopter .
Peter told me about that runway in Male and that is was something else. I probably would not feel totally cool about it, but I would be far less afraid than flying that little plane or a helicopter.
