“HOW HIGH…Is He Going?”
“Looks like there is – – NO STOPPING Al Aldrich – – he is on a real “ROLL” – – and… that is to entertain the crowd!” How “HIGH” can one go on one of those small “Twirly Birds”
Easy to do and lots of FUN – especially if you can ride a bicycle – – build your own “mini helicopter – -right there in your garage.
There are many energetic “hobbyists – and some of us are very handy with the most basic of tools – and with some good friends and or neighbors – – who also … like to FLY – – can – – in maybe 500 hours can build a very basic “Mini-Helicopter” – – and then … take the final “Mini-BIRD” completed with a special “name” that you have christened your new design copter – – head out with friends – – to an AIRPORT – – near-by… for a first testing out?” – And…a celebrating “PARTY”… afterwards!
So many of our enterprising hobbyists who wanted recreational rotary-wing flight – – have formulated plans and with good preparation – have made a first class business for more like-minded pilots – who want some great FUN – but – with a much lower up front price.
Take you choice – – – so many “Flying Hobbyists” came in for an entire weekend to show off their special craft – – and – – did even more – – taking turns – – entertaining in the “Beautiful Blue Sky” – – and everyone with cameras – – well – – just so busy taking lots of pictures – – so many while the chance to get them – – as it is not everyday – that you have such special “talent” – – doing what they do best! – – “FLY” and – “Fly with FRIENDS!”

“Let’s FLY…NOW!”
If you want to learn to FLY and have some FUN – – “LET me show you how to do it… NOW!”
This is Al Aldrich – – and there are a lot of “LOOKERS” – – but in the looking seem to be afraid that they can not FLY – – since they are just… ol’ fraidy-cats???
Just watching “Al Aldrich” take off and FLY all around the AIRPORT – – makes one think – – that they can do it too – – but when it comes to sitting in the that “Pilot’s seat” – – all of that “get up and go” – just went out the door! – – Just watching someone do all kinds of maneuvers in the air – – seems as if just anyone can do the same – – – but without that special “NERVE” – – “OH Well” … – so many give up – – just at the moment – – that the crowd is thinking that a NEW FLYER is going up and show off – – we all wait patiently… just to see… will he… and what… will he try to do!
“Catch your breath… and come out to the AIRPORT – – so we can all have lots of FUN!”

“School Children take AIRPORT TOUR”
School children just love to visit different places…as their “Field Trips” with their teachers along to explain all of the new and different things – – in the specif place visiting – – as each business offers so much more – – than some others – – and “WOW” – “WHAT fun it is to go and visit the local AIRPORT!”
Each group of children get to sit on bails of hay – – set up in the trailer attached to the tractor – – which is used to care for the grounds – summer time all the grass needs to be cut – – and during the winter months … when it will snow – – all the run-ways need to be cleared – – so that the airplanes can take off and land – – but NOW… to make for a comfortable ride and trip for the children to see and visit all the various areas of the AIRPORT.
The children have a marvelous time getting an up close look at … and into some airplanes – – into hangars where the airplanes are kept – – and into the school room for and where the “Sky-Divers” learn the rules of – – “falling out of a perfectly good airplane” and be able to land on the ground… all without breaking their bones!
Some of the children that made the visit to the AIRPORT – – took home for their parents – special invitations – – that their child can come back in the FALL – for a special party for the children and their parents – – since some of the pilots would be offering FREE RIDES – – but parents had to go along – some children may or may not feel comfortable up in an airplane – and only the parents would be able to make that decision.
We also offered Pilot Training Lessons – – for those young people – as some wanted to start as soon as they could – – so as to be doing something that if they waited – – would be sidetracked – – and maybe lose the opportunity to their best dream – – and that is to “Fly up and above the Clouds” – – the best place to be!
Airport owner and manager – Al Aldrich – – also… – driver – tour guide – with all the answers – – and daughter, ALYSSA – in his arms – learning the ropes – – as good lessons that you learn early – – stay with you forever.
