Hearing that announcement, I picked up my suitcase and walked toward Gate16. Twenty minutes later, the plane was preparing to leave. It moved slowly across the airport to runway number two. I was sitting looking out of the window.
The plane suddenly moved forward, raced down the runway and raised into the air. I looked own at the house and roads far below.
