I haven't seen her in years...maybe one day I'll stop by the airport when they have a EAA fly-in, more than likely she'll be there or some one who knows her. Don't ged me wrong I'm not going to ask her to teach me ground school, but just to say hi. I would even feel bad if she offered.

I haven't been an aviation buff, but my Opa was. He took us flying when we'd go to Jersey summers. He had a Cessna.

That's cool!!! The first plane I flew (not surprisingly) was a Cessna 172 like that one

It is...something I have considered before because of gas prices (and renting planes) is to ged an ultralight. Basically its a hang glider with an engine or an airplane motorcycle

We see those flying about when we are at the ballfields here, and sometimes over our property.

I wonder what my dog would think about flying.

Note: This is not meant to offend anyone, but it fits the topic...........like a glove!

So you know why they won't let blind people skydive right????

It scares the shit out of the dog!!!
