== Story ==
This is a big day for Ann. Her father will take her to camp in his new airplane. Ann is excited, as she has never been in an airplane. Father hopes that Ann will like it.
They arrive at the airport. Father shows Anna his plane - the one with floats above the wheels that allow them to land on the water. But before they go, Father shows Ann an aerial map that shows her the route to Camp Lake Wood. Then they look at another map that shows wind and precipitation. Of course, there is no wind or rain where they want to go. Next, a man pumps gas into Father's plane. Ann and her father see that everything is on the plane is all good.
They board the plane and buckle up. The plane heads to the runway. A man at the airport control tower announces via Father's radio that Airplane 7692 is ready to fly.
Away they go! The plane lifts up off the ground. Soon enough, Ann and her father will see a man-made lake, which will be Lake Mead. Father lands the plane on the lake, because they have to refuel it. Now they have the gas they want. Up they go again!
Ann and her father are now 8,000 feet above the Grand Canyon. Soon the sun is setting. Ann and her father will have to rest flying for the night. They land the plane at a nearby airport run by many Indians. They stay overnight at the airport motel.
The next morning, Ann and her father prepare to fly onward to Camp Lake Wood. After calling the aviation weather center to hear that no clouds are too big to see the land, Ann and her father board the plane and take off. Father lets Ann take over the steering wheel. Ann is excited that she can fly her Father's plane. That is, until they see big clouds ahead - a cluster of big, dark rain clouds. Father takes the wheel and lowers the plane a little for the wind and rain to start. But the good news is that they can see Camp Lake Wood.
Having escaped the storm, Father lets Ann take the wheel again. Ann flies the plane above the camp. The girls at the camp run out of their tents and look up. They can see Father's plane, but they can't hear Ann call to them.
That night, after Ann exits her Father's plane, she happily meets the girls around the campfire. She tells them about the time she flies her Father's plane and encourages that some day they will fly in any plane.
