One of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii was sitting looking out on the wing of the plane and disconvering that the wing becomes bigger and smaller. On takeoff, Daddy pointed out that the pilot extended the wing surface to create more lift. Once we're in the air, the wing gets smaller again. Finally, on landing, the wings are extended to their maximum length. I enjoyed watching all of it. Airplanes are neat!

Hi, Aidan,
I always look at that too.
I first learned about that in one of the books I used to read to your Dad and your Uncle Dave when they were little boys.
Might have been something by Richard Scarry.
Love,
