FIRST TIME IN THE AIR

When John Mills was going to fly in an aero plane for the first time, he was frightened He did

not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air "I also didn't like the fact that I wouldn't

be in control," says John

"I'm a terrible passenger in the car When somebody else is driving, I tell them what to so It

drives everybody crazy."

However John couldn't avoid flying any longer It was the only way he could visit his

grandchildren in Canada

"I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn't let my son, his wife and their three

children travel all the way here to visit me It would be so expensive for them and I know Tom's

business isn't doing so well at the moment - it would also be tiring for the children - it's a

nine-hour flight!" he says

To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aero planes When he booked his seat,

he was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet "I

needed to know as much as possible before getting in that plane I suppose it was a way of

making myself feel better The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the

moment The first one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA It can carry up to 524 passengers

and 3.400 pieces of luggage The fuel for aero planes is kept in the wings and the 747 is wings

are so big that they can carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000

kilometers a year for 70 years Isn't that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very

interesting information about the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going

to travel to Canada, I still couldn't believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the

air and fly I was even more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of

people!"

The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself "The take-off itself was much smoother

than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air In the end, I managed to

relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was

spectacular I even managed to sleep for a while! Of course," continues John, "the best reward of

all was when I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful

grandchildren Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn't even think of getting on

a plane I had let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world I can

visit my son and family as often as I like now!"

Everybody loves the giant panda That was clear from the enthusiastic welcome New Yorkers gave

The giant panda, unfortunately, is an endangered species Only about 700 are left in the wild, most

of them living on reserves in China’s Sichuan Province Despite conservation efforts on the part of the Chinese government and scientists worldwide, the population continues to decline as human beings cut down bamboo, the panda’s primary food
