High high in the sky high high in the sky. Tommy sang to himself as he helped his father carry their suit cases into the busy airport building which is called the terminal. People were everywhere coming from planes going to meeting friends working behind counterswaiting in line for tickets His first airplane trip. In addition, can we get a seat by a window will we feel it when we leave the ground what's it like to fly through cloud. Tommy thought of a thousand questions as they hurried down a long hallway toward a jet plane parked outside. Tommy had never been close to a big plane before. Its tail was so high above the ground that a jeep could drive right under it. And the plane was long from its nose to tail that the oil truck beside it seemed small. Tommy could see a large open building where other planes were being cleaned and repaired. He knew what that was a hangar a sort of garage for airplane. Tommy climbed the stairs to the cabin of the jet. At the top he turned and looked around. Far across the airfield he could see a tall brightly painted tower a kind of lighthouse for airplane. The men who worked inside this control tower told the pilots by radio when to take off and when to land.
