pretty planes

First time I ever had the controls of anything that flew: Schweizer 2-33 in Minden Nevada. The experience was incredible. We got so high up thermaling that we could look down on Lake Tahoe.
That really doesn't describe how high you actually got, if you're above the lake at ANY altitude, you can look down and see the lake.
 
they're supposed, too. However, it's very easy to get bored doing the same thing all the time and look away for a minute or not pay attention for a minute and then something like this happens. IF, there was supposed to be a wing walker, then they've lost their job over this. If this was done while taxiing out or in, then there will be a review board and an inquiry as to how it happened, and the captain will be going through some remedial training on taxiing.
