The Beginning of Several Very Long Plane Rides

Stanley really loved his time in the beautiful Bay Area and now it was time for his next adventure!

On the morning of Monday, February 11th, he left Marin County, crossing back over the Golden Gate Bridge. He went to the San Francisco International Airport where he got on a plane back to Boston.

On the flight, Stanley sat next to Jeff, who is a professional pilot. Jeff was not flying the plane but was catching a ride back to Boston for an important birthday party. Jeff told Stanley everything he wanted to know about how planes fly and how much he likes his job. Stanley enjoyed the trip very much and even considered learning how to fly planes himself one day!

After waiting a couple of hours in Boston, Stanley got on his next flight that same night to London, England! He got to watch Bee Movie during the flight which he really liked!

From the movie, he learned that unlike planes: "according to the law of aerodynamics a bumble bee cannot fly. Its body is too heavy in proportion to its wings. The bumble bee does not know that it is not supposed to be able to fly, and so it goes ahead and flies anyway."
