Pilot Proposes to His Girlfriend Through Flight Path That Took 2 Hours to Complete: 'Worth It'
A pilot recently showed that the sky's the limit when it comes to love. Terry Williamson proposed to his girlfriend of two years, Taylor Burcham, last week in the most unusual yet romantic way — through a special coordinated flight plan. On Wednesday, April 9, Williamson flew his Bonanza P-35 plane over Pratt, Kansas, reported ABC affiliate KAKE. During the course of his flight, he spelled out in cursive "Will you marry me Taylor?"

"After about the middle of the second word, I found out why they only do two words," Williamson told KAKE, who reported that most messages delivered via flight path tend to be brief. "I felt like I was going to get sick. There was a lot of G's, a lot of turns, and it was very strenuous. It was really rough but definitely worth it." Williamson, who has been flying for almost 20 years, told Fox Weather that he was inspired by earlier proposals that others have mapped out in the air. However, he wanted to raise the stakes. "I wanted to do something different, something that nobody else has done," he said. Burcham saw the proposal through flight radar while at her coffee shop job — something that she regularly does when Williamson is in the air to make sure he's okay, according to reporting by KAKE.
