He invited me to go for a joyride around Minnesota / Canada in his plane which is basically a glider with a propeller or a mini plane. I accepted his invite and he took me up for a joyride.  He made a lot of sharp turns and other cool maneuvers at low altitudes which was kind of scary but was really fun. Below are some photos and videos of this experience.
