actually, YES!

this was the year in Toronto when the plane was grounded because it was hit by lightning on takeoff or return. I would assume 2009, or so. anyway.

I was at my cousin's house for our annual Canada's Wonderland Sleepover, and their grandfather just happened to be visiting from Italy. So instead of going to Wonderland, we woke up at the asscrack of dawn to wait in a terminal for some guy to come.

There was like 4-5 of us altogether, and somehow we ended up on the plane with their Nonno, and met the plane crew and got to see the cockpit and meet the pilot/co-pilot.

I just remember it being really button-y and being overwhelmed with questions. I have a picture, too. Cheshire smile and everything.
