All I want for Christmas
OK, This is my first post, so bear with me.
I bought myself the 2007 Van's calendar.
My eldest son (who's in the USAF) gave me a personalized pilots flight bag. The rest is, as a friend told me, somewhat backwards:
My wife "gave me" the opportunity to live my dream. We purchased an acre of land, one lot off the landing strip, at Zuehl Air Field!!!
I don't have a plane yet, but she did all the leg work to find the lot and she drew up plans to build a hangar home!!! I've been dreaming of flying since I went on a penny a pound flight when I was nine years old.
We hope to be living there before next Christmas. Then get a plane (Cessna 150)to put in the hangar and learn to fly. Then build an RV10. I've flown with friends in RV4, RV6, 172, Cub..... Soon it will be my turn to take the left side.
