“Like I said…It is a GOOD DAY to FLY”

Just have to ask a question…”What is the first thing a PILOT wants to do… after getting his Pilot’s License?”

“WOW”…”What a Photo!”

When you see an Airplane like… YOU see …  in the above PHOTO… you just feel something inside saying, “You need to buy this PLANE!… and NOW!”

That is exactly what Al and Mary decided to do… fly down to Florida… that is where this extra special Airplane was posted …”FOR SAIE”… and just as soon as they could… they made arrangements to see and take a test flight!

So… If I remember correctly… Al was in the plane and told where and what and how to do everything and the owner was in the back seat. You did notice that this is… only a two-seater. It is now or never!

Al does as all PILOTS will do…start the plane rolling and taxi over to the runway… calling in to the tower their intentions… and they will be flying out to SEA… the Atlantic!

This is the good part… Al never flew this type of plane and there are so many things  that are to be done with this type of plane … that you do not learn to do… on some of the other types of planes. The owner is in the back seat and I guess…  if Al would make a mistake…he would be able to corrct that mistake  in time… so that they would not land… in that big beautiful OCEAN!

“I do not think that I could do that”   but…  “Al did it so well… this was the Airplane he bought!”

After several days flying over the OCEAN… so that he felt that he could fly this new plane from Florida to Missouri…safely… that is exactly what  AL and Mary did.

When you stop to think about what a man can do…that is… if he really wants to do something new and different… just thinking that “Columbus” must have had that same thought… he sailed and sailed so often…he just figured… there is more water in this world…and the best thing for me to do.. is to get the “QUEEN’  to give her “Okay ” for some extra funds … ships and men.. and I will travel around this globe… till I get tired or that…  there is no more water to be sailed!

So … If and when there is a way…  and with a strong will to follow your DREAM… so it seems it was with our young  Al and Mary… the Airplane works… we know what we are doing… let us… just get back up into those beautiful baby blue skies and FLY… till we are back home in Missouri.

 

“Nothing to it… If at first you fail… try… try and try again… your just  bound to succeed…if you just put your mind to doing it  all correctly!”
