“Cameras – Catch the Action!”

Apr 10th “Cameras – Catch the Action!”

For the “ACTION” – – get those CAMERAS fixed on the “PILOTS and PLANES” – – don’t forget to LOOK UP and catch the “SKY-DIVERS” – –

To have the bleachers set up – – on either side of the Airport “Taxiway and Tie Down” area – – sure was a good idea – – as there were individuals doing “SHOWS” just for FUN – GAMES and PRIZES – – – and there was a special “SHOW” – – that I was not informed before hand – would take place – –

A Pilot..dressed like an old lady – you would have thought that she was at least “80 years old” – – started to take off in a small aircraft – – made a few circles – -look like she didn’t know what to do – – much less FLY a Plane – – the “Announcer, GENE PATRICK” – – made the announcement to stay off the “Taxiway and Tie Down” area – – and for someone to come to this old LADY’s aid – – lots of people called to her to pull the PLANE over – – would you believe the old LADY got out of the PLANE and the PLANE was rolling slowly all by itself…

Then … the announcer told the old LADY to catch her PLANE and PARK IT! – – Well.. did she ever look silly running after the PLANE – in circles and everybody laughing and some like myself calling for someone to go to her aid … and – – DO SOMETHING – before she has an accident… I even looked for my son to – – get out here and do something – I was scared!

Well… just as fast as all this had started – – the little old LADY – – jumped into the PLANE – – as it was going – – and just like someone who knows what they are doing – – she turned the PLANE – and headed for the runway – – everyone watching – – and before you knew what was going on – – the PLANE was up and off the ground – – and into the AIR – – “there she goes” – – and then the ANNOUNCER – – let the public in on the “SHOW” – – telling everyone that this was a special arrangement – – to be for the entertainment of all attending – – that everything was done with safety in mind – – as that – this PILOT was really an INSTRUCTOR – – and knew exactly what was going on at all times – – that the PLANE used in this type of stunt – – is only used for this type of demonstration – – and in training purposes.

Never the less – – it sure looked like a situation that needed an expert to take charge – – and my heart sure – – got a full work out – – just watching.

“BLUE SKIES and HAPPY FLYING for all our FRIENDS that enjoy doing – – that which – – all the rest of the World – – wishes they could do – – and – want to have – that same special – FUN just FLYING!”
