Sharing the love

Could not have asked for a better day to take a friend from work and his 5 year old son up for a flight around the local area. Blue skies, high clouds, with a light breeze blowing in from the the northeast.

This little guy wants to go flying... like now!


Keeping his eyes peeled for the occasional Fokker Dreidecker, or maybe a Sopwith Camel. We had to settle for a Cessna who was inbound to Willow Run as we scooted to the northwest headed for Howell (OZW).

Sailboats on the lake.


I took it as a compliment that my flying put him to sleep, maybe he was exhausted from trying to spot Rene Fonck in his Spad S XII (I was told my passenger is a big fan of the WWI film "Flyboys") We did three full stop circuits at Livingston County airport, then headed southeast to make one landing at Mettetal (1D2). Back at Willow Run (which is undergoing some hefty pavement changes) I made my 400th landing!

Making the #1 sign in honor of his first GA flight. Something about his smile makes me think this won't be his last ;)
