My girlfriend and I planned to do some parasailing over the gorgeous terrain of Iceland for her birthday. The morning of our adventure however, our guide informed us that the winds were too high for parasailing. But they did have a couple of ultralight aircraft they would let us use...
Unfortunately, when they started up her plane, the propeller promptly flew off and rolled down the hill in front of us...greatly increasing my confidence and calming my nerves. Once fixed, and once soaring, it was breathtaking.
