The experience

The first thing I remember is the way my stomach did this weird little flip as we lifted off, not fear, just that rush you get when something’s actually happening. The city was all glass and angles below us, sunlight sliding off the lake. Our pilot (I think his name was Mark?) gave a quick thumbs up before our headsets filled with this soft music, like elevator jazz but somehow perfect for floating over Toronto. I glanced at my partner. She squeezed my hand so tight I almost laughed out loud.

We circled right by the CN Tower, close enough to see people moving inside the pod. It felt surreal, like we were in some movie shot of Toronto, except it was just us in the back seat, nobody else. The Royal Ontario Museum looked tiny from up here: its edges sharp against all those older buildings. There’s a moment when you stop trying to take photos and just watch. I think that’s when it hit me how quiet it was up there, except for her whispering “look at that” every few seconds.

The route took us from Lake Shore up to Bloor Street: eight minutes sounds short but honestly, time gets weird when you’re 2000 feet up. After landing, one of the crew handed us this little gift box (I still have mine tucked away somewhere). We walked out grinning like idiots into the wind off the lake, hair everywhere. It wasn’t what I expected: more intimate than flashy, if that makes sense. Sometimes you don’t need words for a memory to stick.
